Raspberry and Almond Madeira Cake

At weekends I tend to bake a big affair of a cake, whether it be a chocolate cake or a layered cake with lashings of frosting. But considering I had baked the Chocolate Cake this week, I decided that I would opt for a simple cake for this weekend. Plus Easter is a few weeks away and we will be having chocolate coming out of our ears! I had some raspberries in the fridge, and I remembered a recipe in my Good Food 101 Cakes and Bakes I had book marked for the right occasion, which was today! This cake may be simple but let me tell you it is one gorgeous cake! The raspberries and almond are a wonderful pairing, with the added orange zest that brings out the flavours beautifully. The sponge is really moist, fluffy and with every bite you take you come across the crunchy crumbled almonds within. I’m not sure my son will go wild for this cake, his a typical teenager and prefers his chocolate cakes but he might surprise me yet! I know hubby will love it, but then again he loves everything I bake! His definitely my No1 fan ;o)
