Ingredients

30g pecan nuts
125g unsalted butter

very soft
125g golden caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self-raising flour
½ tsp ground cinnamon
100g blueberries
1 tbsp milk

CRUMBLE TOPPING

15g unsalted butter
50g self-raising flour
40g pecan nuts

roughly chopped
30g light muscovado sugar
¾ tsp ground cinnamon

Method

step 1

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. To make the topping, rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs and stir in the nuts, sugar and cinnamon. Chill while you make the cakes.
step 2

Line a 20 x 20cm square cake tin with non-stick baking parchment or if you are using muffin tins, line each with a paper case.
step 3

Blitz the pecans in a mini food processor until coarsely ground. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, gradually beat in the eggs and sift the flour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt over. Fold the spiced flour in with the ground pecans, blueberries and milk. The mixture will be quite thick but this prevents the blueberries from sinking as the cakes rise.
step 4

Pour into the cake tin or divide evenly between the paper cases. Sprinkle with the topping mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes, until risen and golden. A fine skewer inserted into a cake should come out dry with no uncooked batter stuck to it. Cool on a wire rack. Cut the cake into squares.
