Ingredients
  

  • 500 g of fruit chopped (I used nectarines, pears and plums)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 200 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 200 g soft light brown sugar

  • Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C Fan.
  • Grease and line (with baking paper) a 23cm round cake tin.
  • Remove any stones from the fruit, roughly chop into small chunks.
  • In a separate bowl, sift the flour and cinnamon and add the sugar. Pour in the beaten eggs and the oil and mix together well.
  • Stir the fruit into the cake batter and pour into the prepared tin.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a cake tester or skewer comes out clean.
  • Serve with a little dusting of icing sugar, or store in a tin and serve with warm custard the next day.
