Method

Set the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 and line the 23cm cake tin with greaseproof paper.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and 2tbsps warm water. Mix in nuts, flour and spice.
Spread half the mixture in the tin to the edges. Place most of the strawberries on top (reserve a few small halves), then spread the rest of the cake mixture on top and scatter with the rest of the fruit.
Bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes. Check after an hour, and if it’s getting too brown, cover with paper. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then loosen edges with a knife. Slide cake onto a plate and dust with icing sugar. Serve warm or cooled, with cream or yogurt.
