Serves 12

Spotted Berry Sponge with Clotted Cream ingredients: 125g softened unsalted butter, chopped. 125g caster sugar. 3 eggs, at room temperature. 125g self-raising flour. 2-3 tbs milk. 350g black berries or raspberries. Clotted or thick cream, to serve

Spotted Berry Sponge with Clotted Cream recipe: 1- Preheat the oven to 190C. Grease a 20cm spring form cake pan with butter, line the base with a circle of baking paper and grease this too. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl until creamy-you can do this in a mixer if you like. 2- Add the eggs 1 at a time, waiting until the last in completely incorporated before adding the next. If the batter curdles, add 1 teaspoon flour to bring in back together. Sift the flour into the bowl and fold in. Add a splash of milk, no more than 2-4 tablespoon, to loosen the mixture. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth out. 3- Tip the berries into a clean bowl and sift a couple of pinches of flour over the top. Toss the fruit in the flour, then scatter over the uncooked cake. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden on top, and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully release and cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with clotted or thick cream
