Berry Cake - yum!

75g butter
1 egg
3/4C orange juice (I used 'raro')
3/4C sugar
1 1/2 C self raising flour
1/2 C walnuts
1/4C sugar
3tsp cinnamon
1-2C fresh (or thawed) berries (I used red and black currants, white and black raspberries)


Oven at 180. Spray or line a 23cm square tin.

Melt butter in bowl big enough for whole cake mixture. Take out 1 tablespoon of melted butter and set aside for nut mixture.
Add egg and orange juice to melted butter in bowl. Mix until combined.
Sprinkle sugar and flour over egg mixture and fold. Do not over mix.

Mix together reserved butter and finely chopped walnuts, sugar and cinnamon.  Sprinkle two thirds of nut mixture over cake mixture then spoon into tin so nut mix is marbled through cake mix.

Press berries evenly over cake mix.
Sprinkle remaining nut mixture over berries.

Bake for 45 mins or until evenly browned.

It recommends serving warm, and it is very delicimo when warm, but equally edible when cold!!

This recipe doesn't take long to do - my time was spent cracking the walnuts!
