# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture is impossibly moist and tender, thanks to the ground almonds working their magic
  • Its one of those rare desserts that feels elegant enough for company but comes together with zero stress
  • The tart berries cutting through the sweet almond crumb creates the most perfect bite
02 -
  • Overmixing once the flour is added will make your cake tough, so stop as soon as you no longer see dry streaks
  • Frozen raspberries release too much liquid and will make your cake soggy, so stick with fresh berries
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing or you will lose those gorgeous clean layers
03 -
  • Room temperature ingredients mix together more evenly and create a finer crumb texture
  • Grease your pan thoroughly and use parchment for guaranteed easy release every time
