For the cake

  • 175 g sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 250 g flour
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g mixed berries (first batch)
For the drizzle

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a loaf tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually fold in the flour and baking powder.
  5. Once the batter is combined, gently mix in the first batch of mixed berries.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Drizzle Preparation
  1. While the cake is cooling, prepare the drizzle by combining icing sugar with enough water to create a smooth, pourable consistency.
  2. Mix in the second batch of mixed berries for an added fruity flavor.
Assembly
