Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Stir in the brown sugar. Add the chopped fruit and toss

In a separate bowl use a fork to whisk the golden syrup, butter, egg, vanilla essence and milk
together. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into the oven dish.
To make the sauce combine the brown sugar and cornflour in a small bowl. Gradually add the
