2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

1 cup any fresh fruit

140 g butter

3/4 cup self-raising flour

3 eggs

1/2 cup castor sugar

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp ground almonds

Melt 2/3 cup sugar and water in a small pan over low heat, stirring until

sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup turns golden. Pour immediately into a

lightly oiled 20 cm round cake tin, swirling to coat. Lay fruit on caramel.

Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until pale. Add eggs, one at a time, beating

well. Sift flour and baking powder, and fold into mixture. Add almonds and

liqueur. Pour over fruit and bake at 190ºC for 45 minutes. Cool slightly,

run a knife around the edge, turn out, and serve with cream.

NOTES : Jo: Instead of making the caramel, you could cream 75g butter with

1/3 cup brown sugar and spread this over the base and sides of the tin

before putting in the fruit. (This makes left-overs a bit greasy, though).

This is good made with tinned plums.

Best eaten warm.
