100 g caster sugar
1 egg
60 g butter (softened)
160 g pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
60 g buttermilk*
300 g washed and chopped apricots (or damson plums, apples etc)
For the topping:
100 g buttermilk*
50 g rolled oats
50 g ground walnuts
1 generous pinch cinnamon
80 g brown sugar
Cream together the butter, caster sugar and egg. (Speed 5 / 20-40 seconds)
Add the flour, baking powder and buttermilk. (Speed 3 / about 20 seconds)
Pour into a buttered spring-form tin, then lay the fruit on top in one layer.
Combine all the ingredients for the crumble topping (Speed 5 / 20-40 seconds) and spread over the fruit.
Bake in the pre-heated oven at 200 C (no fan!) for 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean (you might have fruit on the skwewer, but there shouldn't be any uncooked dough visible).
Leave to cool before serving.
* Due to lack of equipment, I made this cake entirely in my Thermomix, so even the liquid ingredients were weighed, rather than measured.
This was taken from
http://www.thepassionatecook.com/. Although she made this in the TM, she didn't say how, so I've put my estimates next to her instructions. I'm planning to make an apple version of it sometime very soon, so have put it here for safe keeping, and for anyone else who wants to try it in the meantime.
