    We’ve had my Mum and Nan visiting  this weekend and since I’m a semi single parent at the moment (Hubby is out of action after falling off his bike and breaking his collar bone), I took the opportunity to get some baking done whilst I had live in babysitters.

    I’d been eyeing off this simple Apple & Blueberry Cake recipe from Donna Hay’s ‘Fresh and Simple’ for awhile, and since we had a bowl full of apples and I’d stocked up on frozen berries through the week, the timing was perfect to give it a go.  It made a great Sunday afternoon snack/dessert. We ate it warm from the oven, it would be great with ice cream or custard – unfortunately I didn’t have either.

    I was impressed with how quickly the cake batter came together, and we all agreed it was a very light cake and the texture reminded us of a tea cake packed with fruity goodness.  I was pretty generous with the apples and blueberries and I was happy that the majority of fruit stayed on top of the cake, with a few lovely bits sinking in.

    You could substitute with any fruit you had. We’ve got a ton of strawberries in the fridge, so I’m thinking a strawberry/blueberry cake might be next!
