A delicate, buttery gooseberry cake made entirely from crumble pastry \u2013 baked both as the base and the topping. The crumble is perfectly buttery and fragrant with vanilla, and tastes wonderful with the tart, juicy gooseberries.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ingredients for the crumble cake:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
• 300 g plain flour<\/li>\n
• \u00bd teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n
• 220 g butter, at room temperature<\/li>\n
• 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<\/li>\n
• 6 tablespoons demerara sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Place the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add the soft butter and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add both sugars and rub again to form a crumble mixture.<\/p>\n

  Ingredients for the gooseberry filling:<\/span><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 600 g gooseberries, topped and tailed<\/li>\n
  • 5 tablespoons demerara sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Line the base of a 23 cm round tin with baking parchment. Spread half of the crumble mixture evenly over the base and gently press it down. Pre-bake at 180\u00baC for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, scatter the gooseberries evenly over the base, then sprinkle with 5 tablespoons of sugar. Cover with the remaining crumble mixture.<\/p>\n

    Return to the oven (same temperature) and bake for a further 35 minutes, until golden. Remove and allow to cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
