  • While the cake is baking, make the syrup by boiling the sugar in 200 ml water for 8-10 minutes or until clear ans syrupy.
  • Add lemon juice and return to a rapid simmer, cooking for another few minutes.
  • Poke the cake all over with fork and then spoon the warm syrup over, a little at a time, letting it soak in- you want to get all of it to soak inches.

  • (Taste and add a bit more sugar if the berries are very tart).
  • Serve cake warm, cut into wedges with the warm berries on top.
