Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4 (180c)
Prepare the shortcrust pastry
Grease the cake tin
Step 2
Cream the margarine & caster sugar together until smooth
Step 3
Then add the eggs, baking powder, ground almonds and milk
Step 4
Sieve in the flour slowly whilst mixing, continue until smooth
Step 5
Sprinkle a little flour on the work top and roll out the shortcrust pastry to fit the cake tin, allowing for half an inch up the sides. Gently press into the cake tin (this can be pre-cooked using the blind-baking method if you prefer)
Step 6
Spread a medium thickness layer of raspberry jam over the base
Step 7
Pour in the cake mixture
Step 8
Place on the middle shelf of the oven cook for about 20 - 30 mins ( use skewer to pierce through the cake to see if it is completely cooked. It will come out clean if it is or with mixture if it isn't) If necessary slightly reduce the heat.
Step 9
Whilst the cake bakes prepare the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl. Add the cherry juice and almond essence and mix until smooth. Add water a tbsp at a time if too thick. Cover and leave to thicken
Step 10
Once the cake is cooked, remove and allow to cool. Then decorate with the icing sugar and cherry halves
Individual tarts can be made using a cupcake tray
