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.
Keeping
A few days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
