Crumble Cake with blueberries (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
You know the feeling when your children come home from school and all they want is cake? My second son has been asking me to make him a cake for several days now, being very upset that all the cakes I make are for other people. So I decided to make this one, which is quick to make and delicious. I love cakes that are refreshing and not too sweet, and that include fresh fruit. It works with all sorts of fruit, apples, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, apricots and so on.
