Ingredients

  • Egg: 4 eggs
  • Natural Yogurt: 150ml pot natural yogurt
  • Butter: 250g softened butter, plus extra for greasing
  • Raspberry: small punnet raspberries
  • Caster Sugar: 2 tbsp caster sugar mixed with 1 tbsp flour
  • Self Raising Flour: 280g self-raising flour
  • Baking Powder: 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Golden Caster Sugar: 250g golden caster sugar
  • Peach: 2-3 x 400g/14oz cans peach halves, drained
  • Vanilla: 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract

Directions

  1. First make the topping. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 20 x 30cm baking or roasting tin and line with baking parchment. Sprinkle with the sugar-flour mix. Push a raspberry or cherry into the cavity of each peach half, then place the peaches, cut-side down, in the tin.
  2. To make the sponge batter, beat the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, yogurt and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric whisk until lump-free. Spoon the mix into the tin, over and around the peaches, then bake for 50 mins-1 hr until golden and risen and a skewer poked in comes out clean.
  3. Cool briefly, then carefully run a cutlery knife around the edges to release any stuck bits. Turn the cake out onto a board and cut into squares. Delicious eaten warm with ice cream.
