  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 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!

  Yup - a really good cake! Made it as one larger cake as I don't have the small sandwich tins and it came out really well. I'll be making it again this summer I think!

  This cake was too rich for me. In my opinion it didn't need the clotted cream and bottom layer. The top layer with the peaches was very good though.

  My cake wasn't thick enough to cut in half and add the cream, but the peach and syrup flavour sunk through the sponge and it tasted absolutely delicious! It looked extremely professional as well with the peach circle thingy at the top, which is definately an added bonus - brilliant!

  I made this cake the other day and it turned out beautifully. I used nectarines instead of peaches as they were what I had on hand and baked the entire mix in a 9" (23cm) round cake tin rather than 2 seperate 20cm tins then slit in half once cooled. The clotted cream filling kept the cake incredibly moist and the nectarines ontop were delicious. I made a variation on it yesterday when I had some blueberries that needed using up. Instead of peaches I subbed for my berries, then added a tsp of almond extract to the batter and filling and replaced 25 of the flour with 25g ground almonds. It was superb!

  I'd never done much baking and tried this and came out perfect 1st time. Really easy to make and looks stunning. I won the Bake-off @ work with it! I would suggest using another tub of clotted cream (or about 300g) or maybe coating the inner sides in jam. Also, good quality tinned peaches work better than fresh.

  I live in Bangalore,India and fresh peaches are really rare here...but I am determined to bake this for my mum's upcoming birthday,so would canned peaches do? I have a tin of them[in syrup,not juice].Please let me know if I can go ahead with that idea or if I need to 'treat' the peaches in any way before using them.The birthday is on the 12th,so please help out folks! It will be much appreciated :)

  Would like to make this as a birthday cake next week. Can anyone tell me if this cake is okay if made the day before and does it keep okay in the fridge? Also has anyone used tinned peaches instead of fresh and how did the cake work out?
