Mary Berry Blueberry Traybake

Print Recipe

Mary Berry Blueberry Traybake is a single-layer sponge cake baked in a rectangular tin rather than a round cake tin. Fresh or frozen blueberries are folded into the batter, giving bursts of fruit throughout the sponge. Unlike layered cakes, traybakes focus on simplicity, even baking, and easy portioning.
