Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for baking dish

Pour the batter into prepared dish; spread evenly.
  • Scatter reserved peach pieces and a third of the blackberries over batter. Bake until the cake is golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

STRAWBERRY-BLACKBERRY SUMMER TRIFLE



Strawberry-Blackberry Summer Trifle image

Elderflower syrup is sweetly floral, similar in taste to honeysuckle. It's common throughout Europe and the UK, and has begun to make inroads in specialty stores and cocktail bars in the US. If you can't find it, the syrup from canned lychees makes a good substitute. Trifles are a classic British summer dessert; they're light, sweet, and full of juicy fruit.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 cups strawberries (about 2 pounds)
3 cups blackberries (about 10 ounces)
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups heavy cream, chilled
1/3 cup elderflower syrup or lychee syrup
1 prepared angel food cake

Steps:

  • Reserve a handful of the prettiest whole strawberries and blackberries for topping the trifle.
  • Hull and halve the remaining strawberries, and toss them with the sugar in a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside until they get juicy, about 1 hour. (If you're in a hurry, set the bowl over a pot of simmering water for about 5 minutes to speed this up.)
  • Whip the cream in a chilled bowl until it holds soft peaks. Fold the elderflower syrup into the cream and keep chilled until ready to assemble the trifle.
  • Tear or cut the angel food cake into 2-inch pieces. Scatter about half the cake on the bottom of a trifle dish or clear glass bowl.

BLACKBERRY AND GINGER TRIFLE



Blackberry and Ginger Trifle image

Leftover homemade pound cake works well with this recipe. You will need about a third of the cake (about 6 cups of cubes).

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 piece fresh ginger (3 inches long), peeled and roughly chopped
3/4 cup sugar
1 store-bought pound cake (12 to 16 ounces)
2 cups cold heavy cream
2 packages (6 ounces each) fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine ginger, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar dissolves. Cover pan and remove from heat; set aside to steep, at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. (The longer the syrup steeps, the stronger the ginger flavor will be.)
  • With a serrated knife, cut pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices; lay slices on a piece of waxed paper (for easier cleanup). With a brush, dab slices on both sides with syrup, leaving chopped ginger behind; use all the syrup. Cut slices into cubes.
  • Whip cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form. In alternating layers, arrange cake cubes, whipped cream, and blackberries in 8 serving glasses or dishes (or one large, deep serving dish, preferably glass). Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

YORKSHIRE PARKIN & BLACKBERRY TRIFLE



Yorkshire parkin & blackberry trifle image

Turn a traditional Bonfire Night treat of freshly baked parkin into James Martin's irresistible layered dinner party dessert that can be assembled early and chilled until serving

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dessert, Treat

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 22

50g butter , plus extra for greasing
100g golden syrup
225g self-raising flour
100g golden caster sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 large egg , beaten
200ml milk
500g fresh or defrosted frozen blackberries
50g golden caster sugar
juice 0.5 lemon
75ml amaretto
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
75g golden caster sugar
50g cornflour
300ml full-fat milk
300ml double cream
1 vanilla pod , seeds only
100g fresh or defrosted frozen blackberries
2 tbsp crystallised ginger , chopped
icing sugar , for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Start by making the parkin. Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 2. Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment and grease well with butter.
  • Put the butter and syrup in a small saucepan and heat gently until melted. In a large bowl, tip in the flour, sugar, ginger and bicarbonate of soda, then slowly pour in the butter and syrup, stirring all the time. Add the beaten egg and milk, then mix until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for about 1 hr or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Make the compote while the parkin is baking. Put the blackberries in a food processor with the sugar and lemon juice and blitz until smooth. Push the mixture through a sieve into a jug to remove the seeds, then stir in the amaretto. Put in the fridge until needed.
  • Next, make the custard. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, sugar and cornflour until smooth and pale. Put the milk, cream and vanilla seeds into a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring regularly.
  • When the milk and cream mixture is hot but not yet boiling, pour a little onto the egg mixture and whisk it in, then pour the lot back into the pan with the rest of the milk and cream. Continue to heat very gently, whisking all the time, until the mixture is glossy and is starting to thicken. Pour the custard through a sieve and cover with cling film to stop a skin forming while it cools.
  • Once the parkin is cooked, turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • You can now assemble the trifle - cut the parkin into 16 squares and crumble or slice a few of these to fit the base of a large trifle bowl. Add just less than half of the compote and a few whole blackberries, then pour over half the custard. Give the dish a gentle shake to level the mixture, then repeat the layering process once more, reserving a few cubes of parkin. Pour a spiral of compote over the top of the final layer of custard, then use a skewer to drag spokes out from the centre to create a marbled effect. Scatter over a few whole blackberries, then chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, add the reserved parkin and the crystallised ginger, then dust with icing sugar.
