ABC (apple blueberry cinnamon) cake


I made this cake up this evening as a quick recipe for pudding - after a long day I needed something sweet, quick and simple! This is as easy as ABC... 


Ingredients
4oz margarine or butter
6oz caster sugar
2 eggs
4 fl. oz milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
8oz self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 apple, sliced
6oz blueberries
2 tbsp demerara sugar
1 tbsp porridge oats
1 tbsp flour
1oz butter

Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and line a 9 inch springform cake pan.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the vanilla, eggs and milk and beat well.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp cinnamon and beat until well combined.
  5. Pour the cake batter into the tin.
  6. Sprinkle half the blueberries over the top of the cake, then arrange the apple slices, and sprinkle the rest of the blueberries over the top.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the demerara, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon and butter, and rub together with your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the top of the cake and place in the oven for 45 mins or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  9. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
