Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Line a 9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the grated frozen butter and toss to incorporate. (Alternatively, use a pastry cutter to "cut" the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs). Add the raspberries and white chocolate and toss gently to evenly distribute.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, vinegar, and almond extract. Add to the flour mixture and gently stir just until the dough comes together.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Bake the scone loaf for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
For the icing, in a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, almond extract, and enough heavy cream to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle the icing over the scone loaf. Garnish with sliced almonds.
Store in an airtight container. The scone loaf will keep for up to five days.
