Another Sunday has come around and I’ve made a breakthrough – I’ve admitted that I am addicted to raspberries!
This week’s #sundaybakingsunday recipe is a double fruiter (that may not be a word) and super easy to put together.
I’ve called it Apple & Raspberry Slake – because it’s kind of cake-y but I baked it in a slice tray – slice + cake = slake.
I used
2 cups of self raising flour
2 eggs
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of milk (adjust a little more or less depending on size of eggs and wetness of mix)
A splash of vanilla extract
A shake of cinnamon or cinnamon sugar – I think it needed about 5 shakes
1/2 tin of pie apple (don’t judge. I’m working through things in my pantry!)
As many frozen raspberries as you like (for me that’s quite a few!)
Demerara sugar for a nice crunch – a few spoonfuls, to taste.
Mix everything, bar the berries and demerara sugar, in a large bowl.
Pour mix into a lamington tray.
Push raspberries in all over the slake.
Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at around 180 for about 30 minutes. My oven is quite slow, so keep an eye on it from the 20 minute mark.
I love the burst of berry goodness in this slake. I’ll amp up the cinnamon next time, and maybe try it with pears.
What’s baking at your place today? I’d love it if you’d like or follow me on a Facebook and Instagram and share your baking triumphs. Don’t forget the #sundaybakingsunday tag.
Happy baking everyone!

It was pretty good Heike, Mrs Tiddlypip’s vanilla cake was better, but this was still a fun and tasty experiment.

Ooh that looks yummy. One of my favourite cakes my mum used to cook when I was growing up was similar but used tinned plums. I cook it for my kids now and they love it too!!
