The perfect winter warmer for all those homegrown Gooseberries. I tend to pick my Gooseberries in Summer, freeze them and use them later on in the year for pies, crumbles and Crumble cake. This crumble cake is a big hit at home. A doughy base with a gooey Gooseberry centre, topped with a crumble crunch. I like to serve mine straight from the oven with a generous helping of custard.
