Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease the tin with butter and line the base with baking paper.
- Measure all the ingredients into a large bowl and beat for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin and level the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake has shrunk a little from the sides of the tin and springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip in the centre of the cake.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze. Mix the sugar with the lemon juice and stir to a runny consistency.
- Leave the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the tin, then lift out, with the lining paper still attached, and place on wire rack set over a tray.
- Brush the glaze all over the surface of the warm cake and leave to set. Remove the lining paper and cut into slices to serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 30 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment. Measure all the sponge ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix together using an electric hand whisk until smooth. Spoon into the tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 25-30 mins until lightly golden and the top of the cake springs back when pressed with your finger, and the sides of the sponge are shrinking away from the sides of the tin. Carefully lift the sponge out of the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Remove the baking parchment.
- To make the icing, tip the butter into a bowl and whisk using an electric hand whisk until light and fluffy. Add half the icing sugar and whisk again until incorporated. Add the remaining sugar and whisk again until smooth. Spread the icing over the top of the cold cake.
- To decorate, place a double row of raspberries across the centre and down the length of the cake to make a cross. Next, place a single row diagonally from each corner to the middle. Now fill in the empty spaces with blueberries. Cut into squares to serve.

Tips:
- Choose seasonal fruits that are ripe and flavorful. This will ensure that your fruit tray bake is bursting with flavor.
- To prevent the fruit from browning, toss it in a mixture of lemon juice and water before assembling the tray bake.
- If you are using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using. This will help to prevent the fruit from becoming soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the tray bake. Leave some space between the pieces of fruit so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the tray bake at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to caramelize the fruit and create a crispy crust.
- Let the tray bake cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the fruit from falling apart.
