Summer Fruit Cake

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups of self raising flour
¾ cup sugar
120 g butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Fruit, approx. 4 cups (peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums, berries…..)

Directions

Mix all the ingredients except the fruit in a bowl. Pour this batter into a greased cm spring form tin. Cram pack the top with the fruit. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar. Bake in a 180C oven for 45-50 minutes. Check it is cooked by inserting a skewer, if it comes out clean the cake is cooked. Serve with a dollop of cream or yoghurt.

Note – Although beautiful with fresh summer fruit the cake also works just as well with other fruit like apples, pears or feijoas as well as tinned fruit.

The veg box has changed my way of planning meals – I love the surprise every week of seeing what we have and making something from the truly seasonal produce. I have tried several new vegetables I would never have otherwise bought.
