1 Peaches and clotted cream cake
We've turned the classic combo of peaches and cream into an easy upside-down cake. When clotted cream is added to cake batter you get a really fluffy textured sponge and extra creamy flavour. Ground almonds help to absorb some of the moisture from the peaches but also boost the flavour. Serve with extra clotted cream or ice cream.

200g golden caster sugar, plus 2 tbsp
3 ripe peaches, stoned and cut into thin slices

2 eggs
100g clotted cream, plus extra to serve

1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted
1 Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line a 20cm round fixed-base (or tight-fitting springform, to prevent any drips) cake tin. Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of sugar into the base of the tin, lay the peach slices on top in a spiral, fitting them in snugly. Evenly sprinkle the 2 tbsp of ground almonds over the peaches.
