Strawberry Dessert Cake

I prepared this completely on Saturday and kept it in the fridge overnight. I then baked it on Sunday for lunch, and we had it warm with creme fraiche (we thought we'd be healthy and have that instead of cream!!). It was delicious, and everyone in our family liked it, although some of them  picked the flaked almonds off the top!
It was very easy to make, and I would definitely recommend it as a prepare in advance pudding.
The mixture is thicker than a usual cake mix. Half of it goes in the bottom of the tin, this is followed by quite a thick layer of freshly sliced strawberries, and then covered by the rest of the cake mix. The strawberries when cooked go lovely and soft, and almost like a jam.
Mary says it also works well with fresh sliced peaches, and is excellent with apples. Will be sure to make this one again - once I have finished baking all the other recipes in the book. 68 baked, only 150 to go!
It scored 9.0, and although it was nice cold, it was definitely better warm.
