Berry Upside-Down Cake

Lovely mixed berries and cake! You wouldn’t think that these recipes would be allowed if you are watching the calories. The video shows the traditional recipe – but it does show you how to make this. However the lower calorie recipe uses a fat-free sponge for this dessert and you can serve it with a dollop of Greek yoghurt for a relatively guilt free pudding!
