Fruit Cobbler

Have you ever been faced with a cake that you over baked? Or are you getting guests over and the only thing left are a tin off fruit or two and this cake that has seen better days but it is just a real shame to bin it.

Well, try this fruit cobbler. It is quick to make and so delicious that no one will be able tell that you have made it because you just had nothing else at home.

You will need:

• 1/2 cups sugar, adjust it to your taste
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup oil
• 5 slices dry cake, cut into stripes. crusts removed and cut into strips
• Fruits to cover the bottom of the pan
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (but that is optional)

Mix the first 4 ingredients together and set aside. Place the fruits in a buttered 20x20cm pan and top with cake strips. Pour sugar mixture over the crumble and and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
Bake in a medium hot oven (180°C) for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.

Ice cream or whipped cream on top make it even better.

Note: The reason why I can't give you an amount for the fruit is that I just fill it into the pan and that's it. It really depends what you use. Canned fruits work great, frozen fruits should be defrosted slightly. soft fresh fruits are good as well, however, if you use anything that is harder, like apples, you should precooked until softened for best results.
Also, if you don't have any cake but only bread (white, light, fruit...) use that instead. Just increase the amount of sugar to 1 cup and remove the crust.
