Instructions to Prepare
Follow these steps to create a culinary masterpiece worthy of the Feast of Saint Andrea:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, almond meal, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the fresh berries gently to maintain their shape.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
As we gather around the table, let us cherish not only the delightful flavors of this dish but also the camaraderie and spirit of celebration that the Feast of Saint Andrea brings. Enjoy your meal and the memories created!
