Strawberry and almond cheesecake sponge.

Cover recipe from one of the GF mags.  I have my Mum over so needed something nice for the coffee in the garden. Really nice, a keeper.

For my small 6″ tin I used 100 g of Philadelphia cheese, quickly mixed with half an egg, some icing sugar and vanilla paste. For the cake mix 90 g of soft butter, 125 g self raising flour, 50 g of caster sugar, 2 eggs, 25 g of ground almonds, 2 tsp of fat yoghurt and some more vanilla paste( naturally, if that little jar stands there open it must be abused!). Half of the cake mixture gets on the bottom of the tin, some sliced strawberries  and half of the cheese, then the rest of the cake mixture, carefully, in order not to disturb the cheese, more strawberries, some flaked almonds on top and to the oven for roughly an hour in 180 degrees. Delicious served warm, as we had in the garden, with The Bundle of Love sleeping quietly in the basket. 🙂
