Ingredients

For the cake:

• 200g Plain Flour
• 150g Salted Butter
• 150g Caster Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 4 Peaches
• Raspberries (frozen or fresh)
• Zest of 1 Orange
• Juice of 1/2 Orange

For the Streusel layer:

• 150g Plain Flour
• 115g Salted Butter
• 80g Demerara Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 180C. Line a springform cake tin with baking paper.
2. Start by making the streusel layer. In a bowl, add all the streusel ingredients (flour, butter, demerara sugar and cinnamon). Using your hands, start working all the ingredients together by rubbing the butter to the rest of the ingredients. It will start to form crumble clusters. Make sure you don’t overwork the mixture. Place the bowl in the fridge until needed.
3. Prepare your peaches by washing the skin and cutting in thick slices. If you are using fresh raspberries, make sure to wash and dry them before using.
4. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat caster sugar, orange zest and softened butter until combined and light and fluffy (approx 4 minutes)
5. Add vanilla extract and orange juice, and mix to combine. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, making sure to beat after each egg so it is combined. Finally, add the flour and baking powder a little at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition.
6. Spread the batter into your prepared baking tin. Make sure to spread it to the edges and to level it so it is all the same thickness.
7. Place the peach slices on top, then add the raspberries.
8. Take the streusel mixture out of the fridge and sprinkle all over the fruit layer. Once levelled, use your hands to push it down gently so the cake stays together.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
10. Once cooked, cool in tin for 10 minutes then remove from tin to fully cool. Enjoy as it is or with ice-cream or custard! :)

Tips & Notes

• When combining the cake ingredients together, don’t be afraid to scrape the sides of the bowl if the batter get stuck on the sides.
• Your cake is cooked when you insert a skewer and it comes out clean.
