• Bake 35-40 minutes, until the top is crackly and lightly browned and the center still jiggles just a bit.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan and slice and serve the cake from the pan.
• Top each cake slice with whipped cream and more fresh blueberries and raspberries.

RASPBERRY & BLUEBERRY LIME DRIZZLE CAKE

Steps:

• Line the base and sides of a 20cm/8in square cake tin (not loose-based) with greaseproof paper and butter the paper. Set oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C.
• Cream the butter and sugar together until light. Gradually beat in the eggs, adding a little flour towards the end to prevent curdling. Beat in the lime zest, then fold in the flour and almonds. Fold in enough lime juice - about 3 tablespoons - to give you a good dropping consistency (the mixture should drop easily from the spoon when tapped).
• Fold in three quarters of the blueberries and raspberries and turn into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface, then scatter the remaining fruit on top - it will sink as the cake rises.
• Bake for about 1 hour (cover with foil if beginning to brown too much), or until firm to a gentle prod in the centre. A skewer pushed into the centre should be clean when removed.
• Meanwhile make the syrup: put the lime juice, zest and sugar in a small saucepan. Put over a gentle heat and stir, without allowing to bubble. The sugar should dissolve a little. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, prick all over with a skewer then spoon the syrup over it. To store, cool before wrapping in paper and/or foil.
• Carefully remove the cake from the tin, discard the lining paper and cut into 12 pieces to serve.

RASPBERRY BLUEBERRY POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Generously butter a 9-cup Bundt pan, and dust it with flour, shaking out the excess.
• In the bowl of a food processor, blend together the eggs and the sugar until smooth and thick, about 1 minute, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the butter and kirsch, and blend until the mixture is fluffy, about 1 minute, stopping once to scrape down the bowl.
• Add 2 cups plus 6 Tbs flour, baking powder, and salt, and pulse twice or so to just combine. Do not overmix.
• In a large bowl, toss the raspberries and blueberries with the remaining 2 Tbs flour. Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter into the berries.
• Transfer this finished batter to the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly across the top.
• Place the Bundt pan on the center rack in a cold oven, and turn the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake until a toothpick or knife inserted in the cake's center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
• Cool the cake in the pan for 5 minutes; then invert it onto a rack to cool completely.
• Serve at room temperature, with tea, ice cream, or whipped cream, as the weather dictates.
