It should taste great - I top it with rhubarb if we can get hold if it (sadly not much this spring); it's one of my favourite versions.

Gooseberries inside and rhubarb on top? That's a combo I've not come across before. As it happens, there is some rhubarb growing in our garden. I hadn't got around to picking it, and rather assumed it was too late to do so, but maybe I'll have another look at it tomorrow and give it a try ...

I finally made this on Saturday evening, accidentally forgot and left it in the oven too long, but it is fine despite my worst endeavours. Very good, my hubby likes the fruit combination, he being the arbiter of taste in our house where cakes are concerned of course ;):drool:

Have it with some cream if it gets too dry. It happens to everybody sometime!
Glad that it tastes great nevertheless - berries always add moisture and ground almonds prevent a sponge from going dry as quickly if you overbake a little.
 
I guess we're not in quarantine or lockdown now, but I thought I'd mention this recipe cos it was so tasty. I found it on the interweb as I wanted a summery prawn dish, not the stew I do in winter. The flavours were yummy. Not sure if vegetarians eat prawns, could anything be substituted for prawn to the same effect?

Thai prawn, ginger & spring onion stir-fry

I confess I didn't follow the recipe exactly - I left out the chilli, and as I was doubling up for the 4 of us but my kids wouldn't eat all the veg (and younger one probably not much prawn), I didn't use the full quantity of some of the other ingredients. Next time I'll try to be more accurate and see how it tastes with more lime and ginger.
 
My husband isn’t quite sold on prawns so maybe this could work.

Pescatarians eat fish but not meat, but I find it’s easier to say I’m a vegetarian.
If I tell people I’m a Pescatarian they think I belong to some weird cult.

That recipe sounds delicious - that’s on my list of recipes to try now

You mean you're not a member of a weird cult?! ;);)
A Pescetarian - member of that off shoot of Pastafarianism that reveres the fish as divine 🐟 (especially when beer-battered and fried in oil)
