Equipment

Mixing Bowl - Medium 1 litre - microwave safe

Electric Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer

Microwave

Ingredients

200 g Blackberries - fresh or frozen
2 tbsp Caster Sugar (Superfine Sugar)
1 tbsp Cornflour (Cornstarch)
120 g Margarine
120 g Caster Sugar (Superfine Sugar)
120 g Self Raising Flour (Self-Rising)
2 Eggs
1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

Check over 200g Blackberries and discard any that look past their best and any little pieces of stalk etc. Add them to your microwaveable bowl.
Sprinkle 2 tbsp Caster Sugar and 1 tbsp Cornflour over the fruit.
Stir well to coat the berries with the the sugar and cornflour.
Microwave for 2½ minutes on full power. Stir the fruit mix and if it hasn't yet thickened nicely, keep heating in 30 second bursts.
Measure 120g Margarine, 120g Caster Sugar and 120g Self-Raising Flour into a medium sized mixing bowl (or stand mixer bowl).
Crack in 2 Eggs and add 1 tbsp Lemon Juice.
Use an electric hand whisk or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together until fully combined.
Note - Do not continue mixing past this stage as you could make the sponge tough.
Note – Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is properly mixed in.
Transfer the sponge batter into the microwaveable bowl on top of the blackberry layer. Roughly smooth out the top.
Microwave on full power for 5 minutes if using a glass/pyrex bowl and 4 minutes if using a plastic bowl.
Once cooked the sponge may look a tiny bit wet on the top but don’t be fooled, the sponge will be fully cooked.
Use a plastic knife or spatula to loosen the edges of the sponge from the side of the bowl.
Carefully turn the sponge out onto a serving plate or you can simply use a large spoon to serve straight from the bowl.
Note – Be very careful as the fruit will be piping hot.
Serve hot with lashings of custard.
