• Fold in the ground almonds, flour and the almond essence.

• Pour into the prepared tin, spread out and bake for 15 - 18 minutes, until it feels firm in the centre.
• Remove from the oven and cover with clean, damp tea towel until cold, (it can be kept like this for a couple of days).
• Turn out onto a sheet of tin foil sprinkled generously with icing sugar.
• Spread with the whipped cream and scatter with raspberries.
• Roll up the roulade carefully, transfer to a plate, dust with icing sugar and serve.
