Ingredients

2 x 500g packed frozen mixed summer berry fruits, thawed

4 tablespoon caster sugar

1 level teaspoon cornflour

Sponge mixture

175 gram butter, or margarine, softened

3/4 cup (175g) caster sugar

2 lemons, finely grated zest

3 medium eggs

2 tablespoon greek style set yoghurt

1 1/3 cup (150g) self-raising flour

2 tablespoon (25g) semolina

1 level teaspoon baking powder

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180ºC or 160ºC (fan forced).

2.Drain the berries as they thaw and retain the juice. Transfer the berries to the dish and sprinkle them with a little sugar to suit personal taste.

3.Put all the sponge ingredients into a large bowl and beat until the consistency is light and creamy, or put the ingredients into a processor and process for 10 – 15 seconds until smooth.

4.Spread the mixture evenly over the fruits, taking it right to the edge of the dish, so they are completely covered.

5.Bake in the centre of the oven at the higher temperature for 30 minutes, then, without opening the oven door, reduce the temperature to the lower setting and continue baking for a further 20 minutes. The sponge should be golden brown and springy to touch at the centre.

6.Put the reserved juice into a small saucepan and heat gently. Blend the cornflour with a little cold water and stir into the juice, simmer for a few seconds until it thickens. Taste and add a little sugar if required.

7.Serve the pudding with the warm fruit sauce and some ice cream, whipped cream or Greek yoghurt.
