A delicious fruity cake!

125g soft butter, plus extra for greasing

125g caster sugar

3 eggs

50g ground almonds

100g self raising flour

2 dessert apples, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices

100g blackberries

For the crumble topping

35g jumbo oats

35g plain flour

½ tsp cinnamon

40g cold butter, cut into pieces

70g brown sugar

20g toasted chopped hazelnuts

Icing sugar for dusting

First make the topping. Place the oats and flour in the bowl of a food processor and add the butter. Mix until just combined. Add the sugar, cinnamon and hazelnuts and mix again without over processing. Set aside while you make the cake.

Butter a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin or spring form pan and line the bottom with a circle of non stick parchment paper.

Beat together the butter and sugar, add the eggs one at a time beating well after each one. Fold in the flour and ground almonds. Pour into the prepared tin and level out the cake.

Press the blackberries into the cake batter and scatter over the apples. Then sprinkle over the crumble topping.

Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake come out clean.

Remove from the oven and serve warm with cream, ice-cream or custard.
