Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4 and fully line a 23cm square tin with greaseproof paper.

  2. Step 2

    First prepare the topping: mix the flour and sugar in a bowl and rub the butter in until it resembles a breadcrumb texture, then set aside.

  3. Step 3

    For the cake mixture, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the eggs.

  4. Step 4

    Sift in the flour and baking powder, and tip in the yoghurt. Fold everything together until well combined, then spoon into the tin. Level the surface and evenly scatter over ¾ of the fruit.

  5. Step 5

    Now scatter over the crumble topping, followed by the remaining berries.

  6. Step 6

    Bake for 45-50 mins until golden and the cake starts to come away from the edges of the tin. Cool in the tin for 15 mins on a wire rack before removing.
