1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Grease a roasting tin (30x20cm) with butter, dust with a little flour, then set aside. Peel, core and slice the apples into rings, then toss in a little lemon juice to stop them going brown.
2. Tip the cream and butter into a saucepan, bring up to the boil, then set aside. Whisk the sugar with the eggs until they thicken and turn pale, about 3 mins. Whisk the buttery cream into the eggs, then fold in the flour until completely smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and arrange the apple slices over the top. Scatter over the blackberries, then sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake for 50 mins-1 hr until golden and beginning to pull away from the sides of the tin. Leave to cool in the tin and serve cut into squares.

  This tasted lovely, the only thing I would change would be to put the blackberries on first not last, they got cooked a bit too well as they were sat on top of the pudding and dried out a little. I reduced the sugar too, 200g was plenty as the fruit is already sweet. Will definitely do again.

  This was really lovely...although I too would put the blackberries on first when I make it again. One thing it must be 8 HUGE portions, I made mine in two 20cm square tins and made 18 portions!

  Does anyone know if you can freeze this? 18 portions sounds a bit much for just me! Thanx

  This was good but it didn't know whether to be a cake or a pudding! IWe ate it on its own but I think it would be nice with ice cream or cream (but this adds even more calories!). I used half the amount of apples listed.

  The tastiest pud I have ever had! Easy to make and delicious, it does make alot more than 8 portiona,I got 12 substantial portions out of mine. Served it warm with custard, yummy, and also ate it cold as a cake, just as yummy. It will be what you want it to be cake or pud. Got to be tried.

  This was very nice. I had WAY too many apples by the amount they called for and used half the amount. I followed the suggestions and put the blackberries in first. Hard to tell when its done though and it's not quite a standard cake. My blackberries were very tart so I'd suggest custard to balance it all if yours are too. Would make again!

  Very easy to make and totally delicious. It made a lovely pudding. I will check if it freezes so I can serve the remainder mid-week, when we have people coming round for supper. I only sliced up two cooking apples and had more than enough to top this cake, so stewed the rest with some plums to make a quick dessert for the next day.

  I really liked the look of the cake, but it didn't work out. I only used half the apples and underneath them the cake didn't cook even though I baked it for over an hour!

  I made a gluten free version, just adding 1//2 teaspoon of Xanthum Gum to the gluten free flour - delicious. We had it with ice cream and on it's own. Burnt my mouth as I couldn't wait to taste it.

  I took the suggestion above and put the blackberries in first - didn't even use apples as I had so many. I don't know if my oven is particularly fierce but I found at 200 it was ready in 35 mins not the 50 mins mentioned in the recipe.
