This super-simple-to-make, nutty pecan & blueberry teacake with custard cream, is perfect when you're expecting guests to pop over for a cup of morning tea.

Ingredients

1 cup pecans

1 ½ cups brown sugar, firmly packed

1 cup plain flour

1 cup self-raising flour

3 tsp ground ginger

125 g cold unsalted butter, chopped

300 ml tub light sour cream

1 egg, at room temperature

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

125 g punnet fresh blueberries

300 ml tub thickened cream

½ cup thick vanilla custard

Method

  1. Grease a 20cm round cake pan. Line base and side with baking paper, extending 2cm above pan edge.
  2. Coarsely chop ½ cup of the pecans.
  3. Process remaining pecans, sugar, flours and ginger in a food processor until combined. Add butter and process until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press 2 cups of mixture over base of pan with the back of a spoon.
  4. Add sour cream, egg and soda to remaining crumb mixture in food processor. Pour into pan. Smooth over top. Sprinkle over half the blueberries and chopped pecans.
  5. Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into centre of cake comes out clean. Stand for 5 minutes in pan. Invert onto a wire rack to cool.
  6. Beat cream in a small bowl of electric mixer until soft peaks form. Swirl through custard.
  7. Serve cake with custard cream and remaining blueberries.
