  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 170°C. Brush six 100ml-capacity oval friand pans with spread to grease.

  2. Step 2

    Use an electric beater to beat the spread and sugar in a large bowl until pale. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

  3. Step 3

    Add the almond meal, flour, baking powder and pear puree to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined. Add two-thirds of the raspberries and stir until just combined.

  4. Step 4

    Divide the mixture among the prepared pans. Top with the remaining raspberries. Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until the cakes spring back when lightly touched. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool before turning onto a wire rack.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, combine the mascarpone, cream, icing sugar and lemon rind in small bowl until smooth.

  6. Step 6

    Dust cakes with icing sugar. Serve with mascarpone mixture.

Shopping tip: Find pear puree in the baby food aisle. To make your own, blend poached fresh pears or drained canned pears.

Make it ahead: Prepare to the end of step 5 up to 1 day ahead. Store the cakes in an airtight container. Cover the mascarpone mixture and store in the fridge. Continue from step 6 just before serving.
