Nigel Slater's Simple Dessert Cake Recipe
A community recipe by janeNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
He says: A simple cake to serve with summer fruit Moist and fragrant, this is one of those endlessly useful cakes that can be eaten at tea or as a dessert. Shallow and pleasingly unfussy, it is perfect with poached fruit - especially pears, greengages, apricots or fhubarb - or with thick yogurt. It is absurdly easy to make and keeps like a dream.
