Summer Fruits and Almond Tray Bake

We baked a traditional Victoria sponge cake at the weekend and I had an idea to make a little more cake mixture and pop it into a tray to slice then serve as cubes. After a quick rummage in the cupboards I decided to use some leftover nuts for a crunchy topping and some berries from the freezer for a boost in flavour.

This was the result...




Ingredients

4oz self raising flour
4oz caster sugar
4oz butter
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
Summer berries
Almonds
Icing sugar to dust (optional)


Method
  • Preheat the over to 180 degrees
  • Cream together the sugar and butter in a bowl
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla essence
  • Sift in the flour and combine
  • Pour the mixture into a lined backing tray, approx 9" by 12", and level
  • Add the berries on top and sprinkle over the almonds
  • Cook for around 35 minutes until the sponge is risen and golden 
  • Allow to cool and dust with icing sugar
  • Slice into 15 pieces (more or less if you wish)
Scoff!







This is ideal for picnics and lunch boxes or warm served with ice cream as a dessert.
It's delicious yet so quick and simple to complete.
