New Zealand Summer Fruit Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups self-raising flour
3/4 cup sugar
120 g butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
410 g peaches, drained (or 2 cups sliced apricots or peaches or plums or 2 cups seasonal fruit or frozen berries, slices of )
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Preparation

Blend the flour and sugar together. Add the melted butter, vanilla and eggs. Pour the mixture into a greased, loose-bottomed 24cm cake tin.
Place the fruit on top of the cake, piling it up and pressing down a little. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake 180C classic bake for 1 hour.
*You can substitute the seasonal fruit for another can of drained fruit, such as pears, if desired. Serve warm with a mixture of whipped cream and unsweetened plain yoghurt.
** You can cream the softened butter and sugar if desired and add eggs/vanilla and then dry ingredients - it takes a little longer but does produce a slightly better result - just depends on time and inclination!
