Ingredients

  • 250 grams unsalted butter
  • 250 grams caster sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 5 medium eggs
  • 250g self raising flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking powder
  • 5 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 200 grams blueberries
  • 100 grams cherries weight after stones removed
  • 150 grams blackberries
  • 150 grams raspberries

Instructions

  • Grease and line a 12in x 9in cake tin.
  • Preheat the oven to 180º degrees/ 160º fan oven.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and don't over mix.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest.
  • Sieve in the self raising flour and baking powder.
  • Add the milk and stir in gently.
  • Chop the cherries roughly. Leave the other fruit whole so they don't make the mixture wetter.
  • Gently stir in three quarters of all the fruit to the mix.
  • Pour the mix in to the tin and stud the remaining fruit in to the top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown and use a cake tester to make sure the middle is done.
  • If it starts to brown too quickly cover the cake with silver foil for the remaining time.
  • Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before turning out and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Notes

It tastes lovely served with more fruit, a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream.
