Topping Ingredients
- 4 donut peaches cut into small chunks (mine weighed 200g de-stoned)
- 250g all purpose gluten free self raising flour
- 175g butter, softened
- 175g golden caster sugar
- 2 large free range eggs
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 donut peaches cut into thin slices (mine weighed 100g de-stoned)
- 50g granulated sugar
- Zest and juice of one lemon
Method
- STEP 1Heat the oven to 180.c and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment – I use loaf tin cases as it saves a lot of hassle crimping and creasing.
- STEP 2In a large bowl place the flour, butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and beat with an electric whisk until pale and creamy.
- STEP 3Add the peach chunks and fold into the mixture.
- STEP 4Spoon the mixture into your pre-lined loaf tin and bake in the oven for approximately 1 hour until golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
- STEP 5Meanwhile in a separate bowl add the lemon zest and juice, sugar and peach slices and leave to marinate – the sugar will dissolve to create a syrup.
- STEP 6When the cake comes out of the oven, poke a few holes in the top with a skewer and arrange the marinated peach slices on top, spooning over some of the syrup as you go to give a nice glaze on the top of the cake.
- STEP 7You can leave the cake in the tin until completely cool, and then remove and cut into 8 slices. Enjoy….
