here is nothing wrong with cake for
breakfast, as my husband always says,
and I could not agree more. This has
fruit in the form of prunes, and granola,
with a cake in between. All it needs is a
good cup of coffee, or strong tea in my
case, and that’s not a bad way to start the
day. Any leftover portions can be frozen.- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C.
Grease and line the base of a 20cm x 25cm
baking tin, and grease the sides well too. - Roughly chop the prunes, then put them
into the tin and spread them out evenly.
3. Put the butter, sugar, flour, baking
powder, eggs, buttermilk and
vanilla into a bowl and give
everything a good whisk, using
a hand-held mixer, until the
mixture is super-smooth and
shiny – this should only take
about 2 minutes. Pour the
mixture over the prunes and
spread out evenly.
4. Top with your granola,
pressing it gently down on to
the batter so it sticks, and bake
for 40-45 minutes. In the meantime, you can
get into your first caffeinated
beverage of the day.- When the cake is ready, a
skewer inserted should come
out clean. Leave it in the tin
for 5 minutes, then either turn
it out or cut it into squares in
the tin and scoop it out.
