Surimi Cake

Ingredients

175g butter
150g sugar
150g self raising flour
2 eggs
3 tbsps milk
100g ground almonds
16 seafood sticks, chopped
40g grated cheese
pinch salt
pinch pepper
1 tsp almond or vanilla essence

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C, gas mark 3 and grease and line a 23cm cake tin.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until it has a light, fluffy consistency. Add in the eggs, flour, ground almonds, milk, salt, pepper and essence then mix well. 

3. Stir in the seafood sticks and pour the mixture into the cake tin. Sprinkle the cheese on top.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes. Use a skewer to pierce the cake to test if it is cooked - if it is clean when removed then the cake is cooked, if not then put the cake back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes and test again.

5. Turn the cake out of the tin onto a cooling rack.
