Easy Strawberry and Blueberry Cake - a delicious dessert cake packed with summer berries, easy to make and your family will love it. #strawberry #blueberry #cake
It’s the season for berries, and how I love them!  I’ve made this Easy Strawberry and Blueberry Cake but whether it’s Strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, blackberries, and black and red currants too, it makes my mouth water just thinking about them.

I tend to start the season, serving berries simply with cream, yogurt or ice cream, but as time passes and the fruits become more abundant, it’s nice to try some different ways to enjoy these luscious fruits.

Prepare the strawberries for Strawberry and Blueberry Cake

OXO Good Grips sent me this useful three piece berry bowl and colander in which to prepare and store my berries. The bowl had a nice stable base and is just the right size to store a punnet of strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. The matching colander is useful for cleaning your berries before you store them in the lidded bowl. Of course, it’s not only suitable for berries, but you can use it for rinsing and storing other foods too.

You don;t need a special strawberry huller but it helps, Strawberry and Blueberry Cake

I also received this neat little strawberry hull remover, it works best on large strawberries like the Sweet Eve strawberries from Berry World that arrived with the OXO products.

Ingredients
 

For the cake:

  • 100 gram soft margarine
  • 100 gram caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 100 gram self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the topping:

  • 200 gram strawberries
  • 200 gram blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of water

Instructions
 

For the cake

  • Heat the oven to 350F/180C/Gas 4 and grease and line a 7 inch cake tin. I used a deep cake tin to get one sponge but you could split the cake between two tins if preferred.
  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and beat well until blended and smooth.  Spoon into the tin and smooth the top.  
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes if using two tins and 35-40 minutes for the deeper tin, test with a skewer which should come out clean when the cake is baked.
  • Turn the cake onto a cooling tray and leave to cool
  • For the topping
  • Hull the strawberries, slice up 6-8 strawberries (depending on size) and heat gently in a pan with a tablespoon of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.  
  • Simmer gently until the sugar has dissolved and the berries start to soften, crush the berries and cook for a further 2 minutes until jammy. You should still have some juice left, leave to cool.
  • Cover the top of the cake with the 'jam', reserving a couple of teaspoons of the juice.  Arrange halved strawberries around the edge of the cake and fill the middle with blueberries, brush the berries with the reserved juice to add shine.

Notes

Serve with cream, ice cream or yogurt.

The sponge cake ifor Strawberry and Blueberry Cake

The sponge cake for the Strawberry and Blueberry Cake is a simple Victoria sandwich cake recipe, it makes a great vehicle for the berry topping and soaks up the sweet juices.

    sadly (or perhaps thankfully) I have a strawberry allergy – or I'd be eating your cake every day of the week

    In this house berries seldom get as far as being used in recipes but I do sometimes make a rather gorgeous strawberry, chocolate and honeycomb crunch cheesecake

    Janice that cake looks lovely. One of my favourite recipes to make using both raspberries and strawberries which are both my favourite berries, is Eton Mess so simple but everyone loves it.

    Think my favourite recipe would have to be Strawberry & Raspberry Jam with Raspberry Gin on freshly made scones with a dollop of clotted cream – yum!

    What a fabulous cake. My favourite recipe – simple though it is – would have to be a raspberry pavlova. I love meringue and grow raspberries which are just divine freish from the garden. Being dairy intolerant I finish mine off with coconut cream.
