Stage 4 - 10 min.

Stage 9 - 40 min.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, protecting the top with a sheet of aluminum foil if it gets too brown at the end.
Stage 10
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.
