15 elderflower heads, washed
1 litre boiling water
450g castor sugar

Strawberry and coconut crumble cake with lemon cream

325g strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped

50g sugar
25g cornflour

Place the chopped strawberries and sugar in a pan with 25ml of water. Simmer for 4 minutes. Mix about 2 tablespoons of cold water into the cornflour to make a paste. Mix into the strawberries and mix well. Set aside to cool.

Line a cake tin with parchment paper and set oven to 180oc.

Crumble topping
100g plain flour
60g butter at room temperature
30g castor sugar

Rub the butter into the flour to coarse crumbs and mix in the sugar.

225g plain flour

¾ teaspoon baking powder
50g desiccated coconut
200g castor sugar
75g melted butter
2 eggs
100ml whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix the flour, baking powder, coconut and sugar in a bowl and make a well in the centre. In a separate bowl whisk the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix to a smooth batter.

Spoon half into the bottom of the cake tin and spread well. Cover with the cooled strawberries. Top with the remaining cake mix – don’t worry too much about spreading it – dollop it over as much as you can. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the top and place in oven. Bake for about 45 minutes or until golden on top and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Cool for 15 minutes before cutting up.

Lemon cream

Zest and juice 1 lemon

50g castor sugar
250ml double cream

Boil the lemon zest and juice with the sugar to a thick syrup and cool.

Whip the cream and fold in the lemon mixture.
