Steps

  • Line a 1.5 litre round-bottomed bowl with cling film.

  • Mix the brandy and orange juice in a bowl.
  • Dip cake slices into the juice mixture and line the inside of the bowl.
  • Beat the butter and sugar in a clean bowl until combined.
  • Mix in the ground almonds a little at a time to prevent splitting.
  • Fold in the whipped cream and thawed raspberries.
  • Pour the mixture into the cake-lined bowl.
  • Cover with remaining cake and chill in the fridge overnight.
  • Macerate fresh raspberries with icing sugar and schnapps for one hour.
  • Turn the cake onto a plate and remove the cling film.
