Recipe by Tara Stevens Tara Stevens bakes berries into this exceptionally nutty cake to add sweetness.

Ingredients

Baking spray
1 lb. blanched almond flour
2 tsp. baking powder
pinch of kosher salt
1 lb. mixed raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, or pitted fresh cherries
6 large eggs
1 c. granulated sugar
1 tsp. rosewater (optional)
confectioners' sugar
Crème fraîche

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch springform cake pan with baking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour with the baking powder and salt. Set aside one-third of the berries in a small bowl for garnish.
In a large bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar and rosewater, if using, at medium-high speed until very thick and glossy, about 12 minutes. Fold in the almond flour and the remaining berries in 3 alternating batches, ending with the almond flour, just until blended. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake the cake for about 55 minutes, until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a rack and let cool for 10 minutes. Unmold the cake and let cool completely.
Top the cake with the reserved berries and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve with crème fraîche. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
