Blueberry, Banana & Almond Cake
- 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
- 1 3/4 cups self-raising flour
- 1 scant cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup blanched almonds, chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 2 1/4 cups ripe banana, mashed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mixed spice
- Heat the oven to 320u0b0F (160u0b0C).
- Grease and line the base of a 9 inch spring-form cake tin.
- Mix the bak-ing powder, salt and mixed spice thor-oughly into the flour, then rub in the butter.
- Mix in the sugar and almonds, then add and beat in the banana and eggs.
- Put the mix-ture into the tin and scat-ter the blue-ber-ries on top. Care-fully push them under the mix-ture so that they stew in the cake rather than toast-ing on top.
- Cook for 1 1/4 hours, until a skewer inser-ted in the middle of the cake can be removed com-pletely dry. It is near impossible to over-cook this cake.
- Allow to cool com-pletely before remov-ing from tin.
