Pressure test

This can be served warm as a pudding or cold as a cake, and I’ve given an icing option accordingly. The quantities of this recipe are for a 16-17cm Bundt tin; you can also use it to make six little steamed puddings in ramekins or pudding basins, instead.

BLUEBERRY BUNDT CAKE

75g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing (optional)
100g caster sugar or light soft brown sugar
zest of 1 lemon
100g plain flour, plus extra for dusting (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
75g sour cream or yogurt
75g blueberries

FOR THE ICING (OPTIONAL)

1 tbsp blueberries
1 tbsp lemon juice
