Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C / gas mark 6.
Grease a baking sheet with bu- wait! You should know this stuff by now...!
Remove cats / other nuisances and food thieves from kitchen.

Step 2

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and using your fingers, rub in the butter to form breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Stir in the sugar and fruit mixture. As with all cakes, from this point on avoid all temptation to consume the mixture!

Step 4

Form a well in the middle and pour in the whisked eggs. Fold in the mixture.

Step 5

Extract some gloop from the bowl and dunk it onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Chuck in the oven and wait.

Step 7

Keep waiting... just keep waiting, just keep waiting, what do we do? we wait, wait, wait, wait....
Should be baking for about 15 minutes.

Step 8

Is it golden-brown and still gooey in the middle?!?!?! TAKE IT OUT! Good. Phew, that was a close one!

Step 9

Leave to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing onto a wire rack.

Step 10

Try not to eat too many!

If too gooey in the middle, lower the temperature towards the end so that the insides have a chance to cook. Not sure why you'd really want to though..
