Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Use dried sultanas, removing any stems. Rinse and dry fresh berries, removing any stems; halve larger berries.

  2. Step 2

    Set the oven to 175°C, conventional heat. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm square metal cake tin, at least 5 cm deep, with baking parchment.

  3. Step 3

    Cream 90 g butter (softened) with 60 g brown sugar for 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in 180 g beaten egg, weighed without shell. Mix in 250 ml coconut milk.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in 50 g sultanas, 250 g berries.

  5. Step 5

    Combine 180 g all purpose flour, 0.5 tsp baking powder. Fold into the wet mixture until no dry flour remains.

  6. Step 6

    Spread the batter evenly in the prepared tin. Bake 40-50 minutes. Bake until set throughout, with no raw batter on a skewer; the centre must also reach at least 74°C. Cover with foil if the surface darkens first.

  7. Step 7

    Rest in the tin for 30 minutes before cutting into 4 portions. Serve warm from the tin, or lift out only when the bake holds together.
