Method

Macerate. Toss the 170 g chopped peach with 1 tbsp caster sugar in one bowl and the 240 g raspberries with the other 1 tbsp caster sugar in another, then leave both to stand for at least 1 h.

Whisk. Whisk the 95 g plain flour with ¾ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp fine salt in one bowl, then beat the 70 g soft butter with 100 g caster sugar until fluffy, about 3 min.

Batter. Beat in ½ tsp vanilla and the egg and egg yolk, then fold in the flour mixture alternately with the 2 tbsp whole milk.

Bake. Spread the batter thinly in the lined, buttered large tin and bake at 180 °C for 10-12 min until golden and springy, then cool for 10 min before turning out and peeling off the paper.

Cream. Mix the 154 g chopped peach jam, 120 ml evaporated milk, a pinch of salt and the macerated peaches with their juice, then whip the 360 ml double cream to stiff peaks and fold through.

Cut. Trim the sponge into 3 strips about 23 x 11 cm, leaving a 6 mm gap all round once placed in the film-lined loaf tin.

Layer. Build the cake with a third of the cream, a sponge strip pressed down so the cream rises around it, and half the drained raspberries, then repeat and finish with the last of the cream and the final sponge strip.
