Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert. This is my twist, I've made it into a cake.

Recipe:

Ingredients

Measure

Unsalted Butter

150g

Brown Sugar

50g

Eggs

3 medium

Honey

100ml

Whisky

50ml

Self Raising Flour

250g

Oats

50g

Raspberries

250g

Granola

100g

 

Method:

1)  Pre-heat oven to 180°C

2)  Line a loose bottomed 20cm baking tray with parchment and grease sides with butter

3)  Cream butter and brown sugar together in food mixer until light and fluffy

4)  Add eggs, honey and whisky and mix through (if it starts to curdle add a tbsp of flour)

5)  In another bowl, mix together flour and oats and carefully fold into the other mixture

6)  Once all combined, pour half the mixture into the baking tin and smooth over

7)  Add the raspberries to cover the full surface

8)  Pour the remining mixture over the raspberries and smooth over

9)  Sprinkle the granola all over

10)  Loosely cover the top with foil to prevent the granola toasting

11)  Bake in the centre of the oven for 20 mins then lower the temperature to 170°C and bake for a further 40-50 mins

12)  Leave to cool completely then transfer on to a wire rack

My Cranachan Cake is perfect with with double cream, custard or ice cream!
