Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • 25cm cake tin
  • Sieve

Ingredients

For the topping

  • 4 Zespri SunGold kiwis peeled and sliced
  • 70 g dark brown sugar
  • 70 g butter

For the cake

  • 120 g dark brown sugar
  • 120 g butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

Method

  • Heat the oven to 180c / 160c fan / gas 4.
  • For the topping put the dark brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan and melt over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. This should take a couple of minutes.
  • Once melted, spoon the sugar and butter mixture into the cake tin ensuring there’s an equal layer on the bottom of the tin.
  • Take the sliced kiwi and arrange around the tin, sitting on top of the sugar and butter layer.
  • Next, create the cake mixture by creaming the dark brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue mixing.
  • Sift the flour and baking power into the bowl, add the yoghurt and mix until smooth.
  • Carefully spoon the mixture over the kiwi slices and spread level.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then carefully turn out onto a serving plate.
