Preheat the oven to gas 4/170°C/150°C fan. Butter a 23cm springform cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper. To make the streusel topping, place the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles lumpy breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and almonds.

To make the cake mix, place the flour, baking powder and butter in a large bowl and rub until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and then mix in the eggs and enough milk to give a dropping consistency.

Spoon into the prepared tin, level off the top and scatter with your chosen fruit. Scatter the streusel mixture over and then bake for 35-40 minutes. Test with a skewer to ensure the cake is cooked through. Allow to sit in the tin for 15 minutes before cooling on a rack.

You can use just about any fruit you fancy on this cake. Ripe pears, plums or apples would be great, or go for blueberries, peaches or raspberries. The options are endless.
