Directions
A selection of cakes was required for our afternoon tea and this one is a keeper. We plucked this recipe for summer pudding crumble slices from Life made sweeter and it surprised us with how delicious it was. Nick does not have a particularly sweet tooth, but he loved these and has requested them again.
You can use whatever berries you have lying around and just to warn you they live up to their name. You will need a plate.
