Marzipan berry cakes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Step 2

Cut out squares of baking parchment that would easily cover the holes of a bun tray. Line each one.

Step 3

Beat the sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.

Step 4

Gradually beat in the eggs, then gradually introduce the flour and ground almonds. Continue to beat until all is well incorporated.

Step 5

Fold the marzipan into the mixture.

Step 6

Divide the mixture between the lined cups of the bun tray. Scatter 3-4 berries over each one.

Step 7

Bake the cakes for 30 minutes, or until springy to the touch.

Step 8

Sprinkle with a little icing sugar and serve warm.
