This ruby chocolate traybake has become my go to dessert because it's honestly foolproof and comes together in just an hour from start to finish. The stunning pink hue comes from ruby chocolate, which is naturally beautiful without any food colouring, and I love that almond flour adds a subtle nuttiness while boosting protein and healthy fats. What really won me over is how simple the whole process is just cream your butter and sugar, fold in the dry ingredients, and you've got a showstopper that looks far more impressive than the minimal effort required. Perfect for feeding a crowd without spending all day in the kitchen.

Sprinkle the almonds over the top of the batter, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
