Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the bases of three 23cm cake tins. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the almond extract and lemon zest. Use a fork to whisk the yogurt with the eggs. With the mixer on a low speed, add the flour, ground almonds and 1/2 tsp salt to the butter and sugar, alternating with the yogurt and eggs.
- Divide the batter between the tins and bake for 35-40 mins or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack, remove the parchment and leave to cool.
- Beat the mascarpone to loosen it. Whip the cream until it holds its shape. Combine the cream, mascarpone and lemon juice, then carefully add the icing sugar and flower water to taste.
- Assemble the cake just before serving. Toss the berries with the caster sugar. Spread the flattest cake with half the cream, then add half the fruit. Top with a second cake, spread with the rest of the cream and top with the rest of the fruit. Finish with the last cake, sift over icing sugar, then decorate with rose geranium petals and rose geranium leaves (as long as they're small).

Tips:
- **Use frozen berries:** Frozen berries are just as nutritious as fresh berries, and they're often more affordable. They're also easier to store, so you can always have them on hand for a quick smoothie. - **Add a scoop of protein powder:** Protein powder is a great way to boost the protein content of your smoothie. It can also help you feel fuller and more satisfied after drinking it. - **Use almond milk or coconut milk:** Almond milk and coconut milk are both good dairy-free alternatives to cow's milk. They're also lower in calories and fat. - **Add a little honey or maple syrup:** If you like your smoothies sweet, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to taste. Just be sure to use it sparingly, as both honey and maple syrup are high in sugar. - **Garnish with fresh berries or herbs:** Garnish your smoothie with fresh berries, herbs, or nuts for a pop of color and flavor.Conclusion:
Berry and rose geranium smoothies are a delicious and refreshing way to start your day. They're packed with nutrients, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. They're also a good source of protein and fiber. Best of all, they're easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
