Method

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Line a 20 x 20cm baking dish with greaseproof paper. Beat the softened butter (250 g) and sugar (250 g) together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
step 2
Blitz the pistachios (70 g) in a food processor to a fine crumb.
step 3
Add the eggs (3) to the butter mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The mix may look split, but it will come together once the dry ingredients are added.
step 4
Fold in the ground almonds (130 g), blitzed pistachios, 80g of flour (80 g) and lemon zest (1).
step 5
Toss the blackberries (200 g) with 10g of flour (10 g), shaking off any excess. Gently fold most of them through the batter, reserving a handful for the top.
step 6
Spread the mixture into the lined tray, then dot over the remaining blackberries. Bake for 50 minutes - 1 hour, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted.
step 7
Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then cut into 9 pieces. Serve warm with a scoop of honey ice cream (as needed) and a drizzle of olive oil (as needed).
