Tree surgeons are coming over tomorrow morning to take care of the conifers at the back of our garden. I will have some coffee for them, but I wanted something to go well with that coffee. I had some peaches in the fruit bowl that nobody was particularly interested in, a nectarine, some apricots, found a recipe in my recipe book called “Easy cake with fruit” and within 20 minutes ( plus 30 in the oven) produced a cake that’s  so nice, I’m wrapping it up and putting away, otherwise there won’t be much left for tomorrow.  I used 3 eggs, whole, which I’ve beaten with about 6 tbsps of sugar. Half a vanilla budyn, dry, half a tall glass of plain flour, some baking powder. Half a cube of butter, a bit less than that, as I decided to melt it in the microwave and it exploded there. So to the mixture of eggs, sugar and flour I added most of that half, kept some for a delicious crumbly topping. Those chopped peaches and apricots in, round tin ready, oven at 180 degrees. The crumbly topping was random as well. I chucked some sugar, some flour, some ground almonds and that remaining melted butter into the kitchen aid and after a few seconds it was ready to go onto the cake.

Fantastic smell in the kitchen, 30 minutes was all it took. Super good cake.
