87: A really fast cake with blueberries and pears, p163

Oh wow. This is a supreme cake, and a definite keeper of a recipe... Nigel's puddingy cakes are amazing. And so easy! They tend to make a very small amount of batter though, which I always have a mini panic about as I'm scraping it into the tin and try to cover the bottom with it, and they don't make enormous thick wedges of cake, but they still rise and make a lovely light texture, and I suppose more elegant little slices of cake. This one is just a batter with a pile of fruit heaped on top before baking, and so looks like it's not cooking whilst in the oven, and is all gooey and a bit of a mess, but ooooh boy... It's been promised to the folks at work tomorrow but it looks and smelt so good, I've had to test a bit, purely for research purposes... maybe a another, very small, sliver won't hurt...
