Ingredients

  • Unsalted Butter  -  100g
  • Icing Sugar  -  125g
  • Flour  -  25g
  • Almonds  -  85g
  • Egg White  -  3
  • Unwaxed Lemon  -  1
  • Blackberries  -  85g

Instructions

step 1
Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Generously butter six non-stick friand or muffin tins. Melt the butter and set aside to cool.

step 2
Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl. Add the almonds and mix everything between your fingers.

step 3
Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until they form a light, floppy foam. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, tip in the egg whites and lemon rind, then lightly stir in the butter to form a soft batter.

step 4
Divide the batter among the tins, a large serving spoon is perfect for this job. Sprinkle a handful of blueberries over each cake and bake for 15-20 minutes until just firm to the touch and golden brown.

step 5
Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack. To serve, dust lightly with icing sugar.
