Heat the oven to 180°C /350°F/gas mark 4.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Separate the eggs and retain the whites. Add the egg yolks and raisins to the butter and sugar mix.

Now sift the flour together with the cocoa, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and shake this into the mixture.

After that, pour in the water, buttermilk or milk and rum, and mix round.

Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and fold them in gently. Pour into a rectangular, greased tin. Bake for about 50-60 minutes. Towards the end of cooking time, place the almonds on top. When the cake is ready, leave it in the tin for 10 minutes.

Cool on a rack and decorate with the strawberries before serving.
