When you need a crowd-pleasing cake fast. This simple one bowl summer fruit cake recipe is a great one to make when you don\u2019t want to use any brain power or equipment. It also works with whatever fruit is in season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of it like a little black dress \u2013 you can keep bringing it out but change the topping each time to make it feel different. Have it with custard in the winter, chilled cr\u00e8me Anglaise in summer, with a cup of tea after the school run or with ice cream, toasted almonds and berries in the summer. It is pretty delicious with homemade grapefruit curd<\/a> too. It isn\u2019t massively sweet so judge if you want to add a drizzle of icing to the top to sweeten things up.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make a wintery syrup sponge<\/strong> by spooning 5-6 tablespoons of golden syrup into the base of an unlined, buttered cake tin. Then top with the cake mixture and bake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is perfect for a child\u2019s birthday cake<\/strong>. Just leave the fruit off and once it\u2019s cooked, slice it into 3 horizontally, using a bread knife. Then spread jam and buttercream or cream cheese on the slices, re-assemble and cover with fondant icing.<\/p>\n\n\n
