Method

  1. Heat the oven, line the tins and make the sponge base as described in the first recipe, 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.
  2. Whisk the clotted cream with the sugar and vanilla until stiff. Spread this over the plain sponge, then carefully top with the peach sponge.

    where is the first recipe? whisk clotted cream? until stiff? just how much stiffer do you want clotted cream to be? of course perhaps its not real Cornish clotted cream then? even Devon clotted is just as stiff.

    I have made this 4 times already and it is the easiest and most delicious cake i have made this year. Everybody is hugely impressed at work and seems to think i am Mary Berry herself. Even if you usually fail with this cakes i can guarantee success. Well done good food- keep them coming.

    I wanted something a bit different for a family tea and this fitted the bill perfectly. I did a trial run a couple of days beforehand and my eldest son couldn't get enough of it. The cake I made for the day turned out even better than the first one and went down really well. A very easy to make, lovely cake. I'll be making this again.

    Made this for a family tea, went down really well. Added raspberry jam to the filling for a "peach melba" flavour. Only problem was the layer with the peaches wasn't cooked enough when I turned it out, so finished it off with 1 min blasts in the microwave. Have since done the peach topping as a dessert with ice cream... yum!
