    Mix together the butter and sugar.

  3. 3

    Add the flour, baking powder, lemon and ground almond.

  5. 5

    Spoon into the cases. Once filled individually add 1 and half raspberries into each cases lightly crushing them before they go in, poking them down into the cake. (You can fold the raspberries into the mixture before putting them into the cases however I wanted an equal distribution of them)

    Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden and just firm. Leave to cool completely before icing.

  7. 7

    Make the icing by mixing the icing sugar and butter together. Once it starts to come together add the milk, lemon zest and juice.
