Recipe



TO PREPARE:
For the berries, mix berries, sugar, and 3 tablespoons water in a deep pie pan that is 10 inches in diameter; set aside.

For the topping, mix first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat butter sugar, and lemon zest in a medium bowl until fluffy. Add egg, yolk, and vanilla and almond extracts; beat until smooth. Alternately beat in the flour mixture and milk, one-third at a time, until batter is smooth.

TO COOK:
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F. Drop large tablespoonfuls of the topping batter around the circumference of the berry-filled pie pan, leaving a 1-inch border of exposed berries around the edge and a circle (2 inches in diameter) of berries in the center. Sprinkle topping ring with almonds and cinnamon; bake until topping is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer cake in pan to a wire rack; cool the cake slightly.

TO SERVE:
Spoon portions of dessert into individual serving bowls; serve with ice cream on the side.
Or for an unusual touch, serve this dessert with Spiced Whipped Cream: Stir 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 2 teaspoons sugar into 1/2 heavy cream, then whip to stiff peaks.
