Method

  • step 1

    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.

  • step 2

    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.

  • step 3

    Whisk the clotted cream with the sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread this over the plain sponge, then carefully top with the peach sponge.

I made this cake as a pear and ginger upside down cake, using pear slices instead of peaches, adding 1tsp ground ginger to the cake mixture and sandwiching the two halves together with some ginger jam as well as the cream. It turned out extremely well and I will definitely be making it again. (I…

I'm part way through making...one issue, the mixture between my peaches hasn't cooked even though I cooked for an additional 10 mins. I have waited for it to cool slightly, tipped it up the right way and put back in the oven with a sprinkling of brown sugar. Hopefully that will do the trick!
