Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 3, 170°C, fan 150°C and line a 30cm x 20cm (12in x 8in) tin with nonstick baking paper. Heat the gooseberries gently in a small saucepan until they start to soften slightly and the liquid reduces, then allow to cool.
- In a bowl, mix the crumble ingredients together with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs, then set aside.

- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Scatter over the crumble mixture, then push down gently to compact.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and risen (cover with foil if the top colours too quickly). The high fruit content makes the cake slightly more damp than usual, but a skewer should still come out clean when it is inserted into the middle. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out to cool completely. Cut into 12 pieces to serve.
