I have used this recipe to make a Rhubarb and Custard cake in the past (which is delicious!) but given that rhubarb isn't available at the moment I swapped it for fresh raspberries. Here's the recipe I used:

I think I used roughly 250g of fresh raspberries (uncooked).
It worked really well! The raspberries are a little tart, so it was a good substitution for rhubarb. Here's a couple of photos - one just as it went in the oven, and another once I had decorated it with custard buttercream icing (150g butter, 250g icing sugar, 8 tsp custard powder, 2-3 tsp boiling water).
Sorry about the contrast in the bottom photo - stupid camera phone!!
