2/3 cup whole almonds

100 gram piece bought madeira cake, chopped

6 eggs

1/2 cup caster sugar

500 gram fresh ricotta cheese

2 tablespoon orange liqueur

1 orange, zest finely grated

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease a 22cm round cake pan and line with baking paper. Brush base and sides of paper with butter.

2.Place almonds in a food processor and process until roughly chopped. Add cake and process to an even crumb. Using half the mixture, coat base and sides of the paper-lined pan.

3.In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes, until pale and thick. Beat ricotta, half the remaining crumb mixture, liqueur and zest into the egg mixture. Stir fruit through.

4.Pour mixture into pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden and just set in centre. Allow to cool completely in pan. Serve topped with whipped cream and a dollop of apricot jam.
