Cuppa Cuppa Cake

Step 4: Add the Fruit Layer

Once the butter is melted, remove the dish from the oven.

Pour the fruit evenly over the melted butter. Do not stir. The butter will stay underneath, creating a rich base as it bakes.

Step 5: Pour the Batter

Carefully pour the batter over the fruit layer. Again, do not mix.

It may look unusual at this stage, but during baking, the layers will shift and create a perfect texture.

Step 6: Add Optional Toppings

If you like, sprinkle a little cinnamon or brown sugar on top for extra flavor and a slightly crisp finish.

Step 7: Bake

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until:

• The top is golden brown
• The edges are slightly crispy
• The center is set

Step 8: Let It Cool Slightly

Allow the cake to cool for about 10–15 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to scoop.

What Makes It Special?

As it bakes, the batter rises through the fruit while the butter creates a rich, caramelized layer at the bottom. The result is:

• A soft, fruity base
• A fluffy middle
• A golden, slightly crisp top

It’s the perfect mix between a cake and a cobbler.
