Thread: Raspberry & Oatmeal Cake

I made this for my OH a few weeks ago but used Splenda and Flora in place of butter and sugar.

I made another on Sunday but used blackberries

You could also use blueberries, loganberries or possibly even strawberries but I would use frozen strawberries defrosted as they are softer than fresh.


Raspberry & Oatmeal Cake

100g butter
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tbspn of orange juice
100g Caster sugar
2 medium eggs
125g SR Flour
1/2 tspn baking powder
60g of medium oatmeal or oats
150g of raspberries - fresh or frozen and defrosted

1lb loaf tin lined with baking paper
180C or Gas Mark 4

1. Beat the butter and sugar then alternately add the flour/baking powder and eggs
2. Add the oats and fold in
3. Add the orange zest and juice
4. Fold in the raspberries

Bake for about 1 hour. Should be firm to the touch and a skewer should come out clean. If not, cook for another 5 mins or so.
Leave in the tin for 5 mins then transfer to a cooling rack.


The recipe had white icing over the top but I missed this off.
