- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line a 26 x 17cm baking tin with nonstick baking paper. Put the butter and sugars in a large saucepan and warm over a medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Set aside to cool for 5 mins.
- Whisk in the eggs and the vanilla and almond extracts until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the ground almonds, flour, baking powder and a pinch of fine salt together, then fold into the batter followed by the white chocolate and half the flaked almonds. Pour into the prepared baking tin.
- Dollop the jam all over, then swirl into the mixture. Scatter 25g almonds on top, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden but still with a slight wobble in the centre. Leave to cool in the tin for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Mix the icing sugar with 1 tbsp water, then drizzle all over to finish. Cut into 16 pieces to serve.
