Time 55m

Yield Cuts into 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g soft butter , plus extra for greasing
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
200g golden caster sugar
4 eggs
2 tbsp milk
3 ripe peaches
85g light brown sugar
2 x 116g tubs clotted cream
2 tbsp golden caster sugar
1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160f fan/gas 4, line the tins and make the sponge base as described in the 'goes well with' recipe (below right), but do not divide it between the tins just yet.
  • Halve and stone the peaches, then cut each half into 4. Toss the peaches with the sugar, then arrange in a single layer in one of the tins. Tip half the cake mix over the peaches and the other half into the second tin. Bake for 20-25 mins until cooked and golden - the tin containing the peaches may take 5-10 mins longer than the other. Leave to cool on a wire rack while you make the filling.
  • Whisk the clotted cream with the sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread this over the plain sponge, then carefully top with the peach sponge.
