Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Butter an oblong cake tin (about 31 x 17 x 3cm). Tip the flour, ground almonds, butter and sugar into a food processor and whizz just until the butter is evenly distributed – or rub together by hand. Remove 85g/3oz of the mix, stir in the coconut and put to one side. Add the eggs to the remaining mixture in the food processor and whizz quickly – or mix with a wooden spoon. It doesn’t need to be very smooth.

  • step 2

    Spread this mixture over the base of the tin, then scatter half the raspberries over the top. Sprinkle with the coconut mixture and bake for 45 mins. Dot the remaining fruit over the surface and cook for a further 15 mins, until firm to the touch. Cool in the tin and cut into slices, squares, whichever shape you want. They will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.

FRUIT ALTERNATIVES

Could you use Almond flour in this recipe instead of regular flour. Thanks

question

Hi could you use puff pastry instead?

Hi, thanks for your question. This recipe is a sponge base so puff pastry wouldn't work as well. Our recipe for 'Plum and ginger tart' (bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/plum-ginger-tart) uses puff pastry as a base so you can adapt that to use raspberries instead. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good…

Delicious. I had no coconut so just left it out and actually think it might be better for it. Used frozen rasps.

Made these a few days ago, they were delicious! I used a mixture of ground almonds and flaked almonds instead of coconut (my friend is allergic) and put some almond extract in the batter (following a suggestion in the comments (thanks!)) and they were lovely. Also they are not too crumbly!

question

Hello, I want to make this but I need to transport it because I'm having a picnic. Will it hold together or will it just crumble? Thankyou!

Hey Lucy - I would cool and cut it in the tin, then transport it in that too, just wrap it up - then it'll all stay in one place :) Thanks Good Food Team
