Pear and Blueberry Cake

Recipe Submitted By: bakingmad

Lovely combination of fruit flavours. You don't have to wait until this cake is cold before slicing. If you don't have blueberries why not try using raisins!

Spoon half the mix in the bottom of the tin, top with the sliced pears and the blueberries, keeping a few slices of pear and a few blueberries back. Sprinkle with some of the remaining sugar. Spoon over the remaining cake mix. Place the remaining fruit on top pressing down slightly, and finish off the left over sugar.
