This moist fluffy cake is so quick and easy, it's often the first thing French children are taught to bake. Popular across the Mediterranean this Greek yoghurt version helps with the light airy texture. You can also mix everything into one pot so there's very little clearing up after, and the aroma of fresh baking with vanilla wafting through the house gives a warm homely feel, said Michael!
Ingredients:
250g self-raising
175g sugar
150g Greek yoghurt
130g raspberries & blueberries
3 eggs (lightly beaten)
2 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 160c. Line a loaf tin with a cake liner.
In a large bowl add all the ingredients except the berries and mix until all is combined and you have a smooth mixture. Add the berries, leaving a few to scatter on top, and fold into the mixture.
Pour into the prepared tin, add the remaining berries and bake for appx 50-55 mins, until a skewer comes out clean.
Enjoy.

None of us know what’s going to take us out. Life’s full of surprises. But we do know that the body starts to degenerate from about age 30 (more cells destroyed than created, barring excess weight gain) and also, crucially, that we can affect the speed of that ageing process.
Introduced by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century, and adapted over time to suit Japanese tastes, this light bouncy sponge is considered a traditional Japanese speciality. More delicate and airy than a regular sponge cake, castella ( カステラ, kasutera) is famous for a fine and moist crumb.
