Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C and grease and line a deep 23cm springform cake tin with nonstick baking paper. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric whisk or wooden spoon for 3 mins or until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, gradually adding half the flour as you go. Whisk until combined. Add the remaining flour, the almonds, baking powder and vanilla; mix until just combined. Remove 150g of the mixture and stir through 50g coulis.

Line the base of the cake tin with the peaches, cut-side down. Dollop the cake mixtures alternately over the top, then swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 1 hr or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. If the cake looks like it's browning too much, cover with foil after 50 mins.

Leave to cool on a wire rack for 10 mins, then carefully turn out onto a plate. Serve warm or cold with raspberries, a little extra coulis and a dollop of crème fraîche, if you like. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
