A fail-safe sponge that’s easier than it looks – almonds and yoghurt keep it moist while its fruity decoration is suitably patriotic.

This weekend we’ll see the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III alongside Her Majesty the Queen Consort – a historic event eagerly awaited by many in the UK and beyond.
Alongside official events planned for the weekend, to mark this momentous occasion, we thought we’d share another recipe to accompany the Coronation Quiche .
We at Urban Kitchens wish HRH King Charles III a long and successful reign on the throne.

Method
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 30 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment. Measure all the sponge ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together using an electric hand whisk until smooth. Spoon into the tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 25-30 mins until lightly golden and the top of the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, and the sides of the sponge are shrinking away from the sides of the tin. Carefully lift the sponge out of the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Remove the baking parchment.
- To make the icing, tip the butter into a bowl and whisk using an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy. Add half the icing sugar and whisk again until incorporated. Add the remaining sugar and whisk again until smooth. Spread the icing over the top of the cold cake.
- To decorate, place a double row of raspberries across the centre and down the length of the cake to make a cross. Next, place a single row diagonally from each corner to the middle. Now fill in the empty spaces with blueberries. Cut into squares to serve.
