Servings: Makes one 6-inch cake, serves 8-10
Ingredients
  • subheading: For the cake:
  • Jennifer's carrot cake recipe, subbed cloves for cardamom
  • ¾ c. peach purée (from 2 peaches) (instead of pineapple)
  • subheading: For the cream cheese frosting:
  • 150 g softened butter
  • 200 g cream cheese, at room temperature
  • ¾ to 1 cup (110 to 150 g) powdered sugar
  • ¼ tsp vanilla powder
  • subheading: For the filling:
  • ¼ c. peach puree
  • subheading: Caramelized peaches:
  • 2 peaches
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp light brown muscovado sugar
  •  
  • Fresh blackberries
Steps
  1. Put the peaches with an X in boiling water for 1 minute to loosen skins. Put in a blender or food processor and process until smooth tiny chunks
  2. After cooked, Cut both cake layers in half with a serrated knife so you end up with four cake layers.
  3. Put the first cake layer on a cake board or directly onto a plate or cake stand. Spread a layer of frosting on the first layer, then spread a layer of the peach puree over. Repeat this until you’ve used up all layers.
  4. Spread a thin layer of frosting all over the cake and put in the fridge while you prepare the topping.
  5. subheading: Caramelized peaches:
  6. Slice the fresh peaches. Heat the butter over medium heat in a non-reactive skillet. Add brown sugar and swirl with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts.
  7. Add the peach slices and caramelize for 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool completely, then put them on top of the cake with blackberries.
Notes
  • There could be 50% more frosting
