blackberry sponge

vij

Im posting up as I thought it had gone wrong but it was really nice.

1 x value sponge mix
1 egg

approx 6 oz blackberries from the bush near where I work
handful s/r flour
handful sugar

I rinsed picked over and soaked the blackberries overnight then micro'd them with the sugar. left them to cool.

made up the sponge mix as per instructions
beat in the blackberry mix (which was very wet) then beat in the flour.

I lined a loaf tin with foil poured the mix in and baked at 190 for about 20 mins (until a knife came out clean)

I was aiming for a cake but ended up with a sponge pudding served with custard and its yummy.

That sounds lovely.

I have just made a raspberry and almond sponge. Delightful served warm with some vanilla ice cream and some extra raspberry coulis.

Didn't really have a recipe as such, just altered a Victoria sponge recipe, removing some flour for some ground almonds and chucking in some freshly picked raspberry's.

I have never tried those ready-mixes. Might have to give it ago some time.
