directions
-
Make the topping:
- Cream butter and sugar and spread over the base of a deep cake tin. A loose bottomed tin can make it easier to remove the cake later - or you can line it with a piece of baking paper if you're nervous!
- Arrange fruit on top. If you like you can put a glace cherry in the centre of each pineapple ring.
-
Make the sponge:
- Cream butter and sugar.
- Add beaten egg and vanilla.
- Add sifted flour and baking powder alternately with milk (or use juice - not syrup - from the tin instead of milk).
- Pour sponge mixture on top of fruit.
- Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate.

I am a primary school teacher, in my first teaching job having come late to the profession. I have three sons (10,14 and 16) all with healthy appetites. So lots of my cooking is family meals and baking, though I always like trying out new ideas.
I live in New Zealand, but lived in Yorkshire, UK for 6 years. Never got the taste for mushy peas though... :O)
