Ingredients




60 gr wholemeal spelt flour
60 gr normal flour
120 gr of salted butter
135 gr of raw, demerera sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
220 gr of fresh mixed berries ( I used a mix from raspberries & black berries )
1 large organic egg, beaten

Preparation

1 Take a cooking pot & put the butter & the sugar in it. Let it melt on a medium heat. Stir frequently. Do not let the butter & sugar burn! Set aside to cool down. 2 Preheat the oven to 175°C. ( 347 F) for about 10 minutes. 3 Take your fitting bowl from your Kenwood & place the K-paddle in. Add the 2 types of flours, baking powder. Mix. 4 When the butter & sugar mixture is cooled down, add that to the bowl. Mix well. Add the beaten egg. Mix well. 5 Now, add the fruit. Mix well so that all of the fruit is mashed into the cake dough. It will turn purple in colour. 6 Pour the dough into a silicon cake tin. When you use silicon materials, you don't have to grease the tins. If you don't have those, you will have to grease the baking tin. 7 Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. If you use only white flour, you will need only 20 minutes in the oven. 8 When you think the cake is ready, test with a pin. Take it out of the oven & leave the cake for about 5 minutes in the silicon baking tin. This will also give a shine to your cake! Place on a wire rack. After 5 minutes, carefully take the cake out of the silicon tin & place on a wire rack to cool down completely.
