I posted a photo of a three ingredient cake on my blog a couple of weeks ago and my sister asked for the recipe as she liked the look of it. I hadn't been totally happy with the result of that one, so thought I'd try it again with some modification - so here is version 2 - for my sister, Mary. It's still not quite there but hopefully version 3 will bring it all together.
Version 1 was made with eggs, lemon juice and almonds.
Version 2 is made with just eggs and walnuts. It is then decorated with raspberries - so I guess they are the third ingredient. I won't show the recipe yet as it's not good enough.

Also, the flavor needed a little something to lift it. When I halved the sponge, I put "mushed" raspberries inside and then put more whole raspberries on top. They went someway to "lifting" the flavor ( and also filling the dip in the top!) but I think what it needs is some citrus, so I'll try some lemon zest in version 3, both in the cake and with the mushed raspberries!
Before photographing the current cake, I felt it needed a sprinkle of something on top. Many cakes utilize powdered/icing sugar for this, but as this is a sugar free cake, I sifted some raspberry flour on top. Which do you prefer the look of - no sprinkle, or sprinkle?
The recipe is developing.... but not quite there yet. I'll keep you posted. Patience, Sister Mary!!!!
