Ingredients

For the cake

  • 300g softened butter

  • 300g self-raising flour

  • 300g silver spoon caster sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 6 medium eggs

  • 150g Raspberries

For the topping

  • 200g softened butter

  • Blueberries

  • 450g silver spoon icing sugar

  • Raspberries

  • 1 tbsp Milk

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C (fan oven 160°C, gas mark 4). Grease a 30 x 25cm tin and line with baking paper.

  2. Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Beat together with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluy.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of the flour if the mixture starts curdling.

  4. Fold in the remaining flour until you have a soft, smooth cake mix.

  5. Stir in the vanilla extract. Carefully fold in the raspberries.

  6. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 25-35 minutes until golden and risen. Check the cake is cooked through by inserting a skewer in the middle of the cake and when it is ready it should come out clean.

  7. Cool in the tin and then transfer onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.

  8. For the topping, beat together the butter and a quarter of the icing sugar in a large bowl until soft. Add the remaining icing a little at a time and beat until smooth.

  9. Add a little milk and beat the mixture until creamy and smooth. Spread the butter icing over the top and sides of the cake.

  10. Find a picture of the Union Jack flag and recreate the pattern using a selection of blueberries and raspberries.
