Cacao, hazelnut and raspberry cake

William Meppem

There’s just something about raspberries. Resist eating them straight from the punnet and they can be turned into jelly, jam or a refreshing sorbert, bringing vibrant colour and the perfect marriage of sweetness and tang. Cakes, ice cream, truffles, and anything meringue – both entertaining and everyday – these ruby fruits make a welcome addition in those too. Struggle to get your five a day no more.
