Turn out hot, then cool or chill before slicing.
Stage 11
Serve on its own, or with custard for those with a sweet tooth.
Remarks
If you have any leftover batter at the end of filling the tin, I advise you not to pour it into the tin to maintain the "lots of fruit, little batter" aspect of the cake. Instead, fill ramekins for small cakes.
You can use other fruits such as pears and peaches in this recipe.

How to fry eggs well
You've probably heard the expression: "S/he can't even cook an egg," suggesting that the person referred is a hopeless cook. In reality, frying eggs well isn't as easy as it might appear. The two most frequent errors: the white develops a brown crust around the outside which is unpleasant in the mouth, or the yolk is surrounded by white that is still raw and runny. Here is a foolproof and easy method that will help you avoid both. March 11th 2018523 K 14.6 20 min.
