Method

  • step 1

    In a food processor, whizz together the butter, 100g sugar, flour, eggs, milk and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. lightly grease an oval 20 x 30cm baking dish or 20cm deep cake tin, then tip in the frozen fruit. Scatter over the remaining sugar and vanilla extract. Dollop over the cake mix, then smooth all over with the back of a spoon to cover the fruit. Make a little dip in the middle of the mixture to ensure it cooks evenly throughout. Scatter over the almonds.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Cook for 45 mins until the fruit is hot and the sponge is cooked through. Serve warm with custard or vanilla ice cream.

RECIPE TIPS
FREEZING BERRIES

Berries go soft when defrosted, but don’t lose any flavour. Store a bag in your freezer and whizz with yogurt to make a smoothie, push through a sieve to make a sauce, or add a handful into a crumble.

ARE FROZEN FOODS GOOD FOR ME?

Frozen fruit and veg can be healthier than fresh as most are frozen the day they are picked. They retain their vitamins for longer than stored produce. Freezing is a natural preservative and most items will keep for a long time without losing nutritional benefits – the taste and texture may change though.

Very tasty pudding, 200g definitely not enough fruit. Used 600g and more caster sugar. Served with vanilla custard - delicious dessert

The recipe in the Good Food magazine (Sept. 2008) actually gave the amount of berries to use as 600gr not 200gr as shown above. This could be why one person didn't find it enough to cover the base of the baking dish.

Resulting pudding was very yummy, but I found the recipe slightly confusing. Above the recipe it says "Prep: 10 mins; Cook: 30 mins" but then in the recipe it says to cook for 45 minutes! I actually had to cook this for 50 minutes and even then the centre of the sponge was slightly undercooked in…
