A final farewell to gooseberry season… This simple and quick cake is made from inexpensive, readily available ingredients. When gooseberries turn a beautiful ruby-red colour, they look absolutely stunning in bakes. This gooseberry custard cake tastes delicious with finely grated lemon zest (or orange zest).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for gooseberry custard cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 100 g butter<\/li>\n
• 100 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
• finely grated zest of 1 small lemon<\/li>\n
• 100 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• 30 g sugar-free vanilla custard powder<\/li>\n
• 1 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
• 400 g gooseberries, topped and tailed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  All ingredients should be at room temperature. Sift together the plain flour, custard powder (or potato starch) and baking powder, then set aside.<\/p>\n

  Place the butter and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Cream together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the lemon zest and mix until combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and gently fold in with a spatula until just combined.<\/p>\n

  Line a 21 cm round cake tin with baking paper. Transfer the batter into the prepared tin and level the surface. Scatter the gooseberries evenly over the top.<\/p>\n

  Bake the gooseberry custard cake at 170\u00b0C for approximately 35 minutes, or longer if needed, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.<\/p>\n

  Enjoy!<\/p>\n
