Double Figures and Strawberry Crumble Cake

We've had a birthday in the house! N is now 10 years old. Single figures are a thing of the past now for this family!
N's collection of cards....

 N had a sleepover with her friends and we had a family picnic ( thankfully it didn't rain)....
we popped to Daisyroots for some supplies and they all decopatched together....
 the finished result, N did the star, you can tell which ones E, M and L did can't you?
 Tuesday was the start of the schedule and Tuesday is French, so we dragged out our BBC French is Fun DVD..... SALUT SERGE (anyone outhere with that DVD will now be hearing the theme tune in their head!

Wednesday is cooking, N got down to it listening to her new ipod (I don't think she knows that I took this picture so i'm probably in trouble).

 Strawberry Crumble Cake - twas delicious and will definitely be made again. N decided to make it gluten free, so I could have some, so we just substituted normal flour for gluten free flour.
Anyone want the recipe?
Oven 190C
Cream together 85g butter  and 85g caster sugar
beat in 2 eggs
fold in 85g self raising flour
add milk to give dropping consistency and set mixture aside

slice 450g strawberries and mix in 1 tablespoon of demerara sugar - set aside

put the cake mixture into a 20cm cake tin and put the strawberries on top

then rub 60g butter in to 85g plain flour and add 30g caster sugar and sprinkle the topping over everything else

bake for 1 hour

eat it all up
