Ingredients for an easy summer fruit cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 120 g butter<\/li>\n
• 130 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 3 large eggs<\/li>\n
• a pinch of salt<\/li>\n
• 140 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 1\u00bd tsp baking powder<\/li>\n
• about 400 g fruit of your choice, e.g. peaches, plums, blueberries or blackberries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All the ingredients should be at room temperature.<\/p>\n

  Place the butter, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until light and very fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Sift the flour and baking powder directly into the mixture and gently fold in with a spatula.<\/p>\n

  Pour the batter into a 22 cm round cake tin lined with baking paper. Arrange the fruit on top, cutting larger pieces into smaller chunks first.<\/p>\n

  Bake at 180\u00b0C for about 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Dust with extra icing sugar before serving, if desired.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
