Total Time 1 hour hr 25 minutes mins
- 350 g plain flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 75 g ground almonds
- 300 g butter roughly diced
- 350 g Demerara sugar
- 75 g desiccated coconut
- 3 eggs
- 300 g raspberries and blueberries, fresh or frozen (one type of fruit can also be used instead of the mixture)
Preheat an oven to 180C (160C for fan ovens) and prepare a 23cm x 36cm (or similar) baking tin by covering its sides and bottom with parchment paper.
Put the flour, baking powder, ground almonds, butter and sugar into a food processor and mix together until you get crumbs.
Transfer 150g of the mixture (approx. 5 heaped tbsps) to another bowl and stir in the desiccated coconut.
Add the eggs to the mixture in a food processor and process till everything is combined.
Transfer the batter to the prepared tin, spread it and cover with the berries and then the coconut crumble.
Put the cake in the hot oven and bake for 60-70 minutes.
