Enjoy these delightful picnic cakes with loved ones on a sunny summer day.
Ingredients:
  • 250g (1 2/3 cups) plain flour
  • 50g ground almonds
  • 8.00 gm baking powder
  • 125g soft unsalted butter, chopped
  • 220g (1 cup, firmly packed) dark brown sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 250g (1 cup) sour cream
  • 120g raspberries
  • 80g slivered almonds, roasted
  • 3 nectarines (see note), stoned, quartered
  • Demerara sugar, to sprinkle
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a bowl, sift together flour, almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in sour cream until just combined, then gently fold in the flour mixture and half of the raspberries. Grease a 6-hole (3/4-cup capacity) Texas muffin tin, sprinkle almonds at the base of each hole, and spoon the batter over them. Top each cake with 2 nectarine quarters, remaining raspberries, and a sprinkle of demerara sugar. Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning them out.
