White Peach, Raspberry and Greek Yogurt Cake

13th July 2018 by Louise
White Peach & Greek Yogurt Cake
White Peach & Greek Yogurt Cake

I’m taking full advantage firstly of the slightly cooler temperatures this week by testing some new cake recipes and secondly to utilise the wonderful summer fruits we have available to us at the moment.

Yellow and white peaches are determined by their skin colour – deep, golden yellow with a red or pink blush for the former versus pale and pink for the latter. Inside, the amber flesh of the yellow peach is more acidic, with a tartness that mellows as the peach ripens and softens. White-fleshed peaches, with delicate flesh and an incredibly sweet taste due to the low acid levels.

A luscious, juicy peach is one of summer’s ultimate pleasures, but which is superior: yellow or white? Opinions are divided in my house. My husband prefers yellow peaches, he points out their “classic peachy flavour,” while I applaud the sweetness of white peaches. what would be your choice?

The ingredients – not too ripe peaches, raspberries and Greek yogurt – work perfectly together, the slight sharpness of the raspberries perking up the sweetness of a peaches that have been baked in the cake. Peach Melba in cake form!

This cake is deliciously moist and lovely served slightly warm as a dessert. You don’t have to use white peaches of course, yellow peaches or nectarines work just as well. I have tested this recipe with fresh and frozen raspberries, I couldn’t detect any difference. I also used Tims dairy Greek style yogurt as I love to buy local and it’s so good.

Equipment

  • 23cm springform tin

Ingredients

  • 210 g Plain flour
  • 1  teaspoon  Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon  Bicarbonate of soda
  • 55 g  Butter  softened
  • 200 g  Caster Sugar
  • 2  Large Eggs beaten
  • ½  teaspoon  vanilla bean paste
  • 120 g  Greek yogurt
  • 2 White Peaches, not too ripe sliced into wedges
  • 90 g  Raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C Fan. Grease the side of the tin with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl.  In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar in a free standing mixer for 3-4 minutes until it pale, (it won’t cream as such but will resemble a sandy like texture)) now add the egg a little at a time, stopping occasionally to scrape down the side of the bowl, take your time with this stage as adding the egg slowly and beating in between will make your cake lovely and light. Once it’s really light and fluffy add the vanilla and Greek yogurt and beating briefly until the yoghurt is incorporated into the batter. Mix in a third of the flour mix until combined, then follow with the remaining, be careful not to over mix.
  • Transfer the cake batter to the springform tin. Top with sliced peaches, and scatter the raspberries evenly on top in the spaces between the peach slices. 
  • Bake until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the centre, about 40-45 minutes, depending on your oven. When the cake is done, let it cool (still in the baking tin) on a wire rack.
  • After the cake has cooled for approximately an hour release from the tin.  Dust lightly with icing sugar and serve with Greek yoghurt.

Only @nigellalawson could make squeezing in just o Only @nigellalawson could make squeezing in just one more baking book sound so elegant. She wrote the loveliest words about Buns: Sweets and Simple Bakes — and went for the Brown Butter & Vanilla, a quiet favourite of mine. Deceptively simple, but the kind of bun that’s never trying too hard, because it doesn’t need to.

So chuffed you took the time, Nigella — thank you.

With all this hot weather lately, a chilled Cucumb With all this hot weather lately, a chilled Cucumber & Almond soup was just what I fancied. Cool, creamy, and packed with protein and flavour. I used 650g small cucumbers, 250g full-fat Greek yogurt, 2 spring onions, a blanched clove of garlic (raw’s a bit harsh for this, I find), 60g skinned almonds, 50ml strong veg stock, a good drizzle of EVOO, lemon juice, and a splash of sherry vinegar to finish. I also threw in a handful of herbs – fresh dill, blanched parsley, and mint – for a lovely hit of green brightness. (Serves 2.)

Tip: blitz the blanched almonds with the veg stock first until really smooth – that’s key. Then add the cucumber, herbs, spring onions, garlic, EVOO, lemon, vinegar, and just a third of the yogurt. Only whisk in the rest once the soup’s puréed – it gives a lovely thick, creamy texture. If you add all the yogurt to the blender at once, it can end up a bit thinner than you’d like.

Finish with a swirl of EVOO, a drizzle of thinned yogurt, and maybe a few cucumber ribbons if you're feeling a bit cheffy.

As I sat down to eat, it occurred to me that some chopped pickled jalapeños on top would be lovely – so that’s exactly what I added to the finished soup before tucking in!

I’m fully embracing my current obsession with to I’m fully embracing my current obsession with tomatoes — and honestly, who wouldn’t? They’re so sweet and juicy at the moment. This little tart is packed with toasted fennel seeds, chunks of salty feta, and a mix of whole and sliced tomatoes that roast beautifully. The feta is so good with the sweet, blistered tomatoes — such a lovely mix of textures and flavours. All of that’s tucked into a light spelt pastry that’s perfectly crumbly. The full recipe will be on the blog tomorrow!

What a weekend! I managed to deliver a Strawberry What a weekend! I managed to deliver a Strawberry and Elderflower Buttercream Cake in 30°C heat without a single mishap – a small miracle if you ask me. Huge congratulations to the lovely newlyweds Victoria and John –  hope you had the most wonderful day 💐🎂 (There’s a snap of the cake over on stories)

Now the new week is here and the temperatures are finally a bit more manageable. Thought I’d share my current favourite weekend lunch – a lovely summery Tuna Salad. When tomatoes are so sweet and juicy, it’s the perfect time to make the most of them. Paired with haricot beans, diced celery (I know it can be a bit divisive, but it adds such a nice crunch), and a caper and chive mustard dressing. Light, fresh, and very satisfying.

I meant to post this much earlier, but I’ve been I meant to post this much earlier, but I’ve been busy prepping a wedding cake for a Midsummer wedding tomorrow. Buttercream and a heatwave are not the best combination! I was up at 4:30 to get ahead of the heat, and I’m so glad I did — the cake is finished and happily chilling in the fridge.

Being half Swedish, Midsommar holds a special place in my heart. It’s all about flower crowns, fresh air, and that lovely feeling of long summer days. We gather with family and friends, share a beautiful midsommar feast - pickled herring, new potatoes, strawberry cream cake (this is not the wedding cake), and snaps! 
A time to slow down, dance around the maypole, and celebrate life and light. 

 Glad Midsommar! 💛🌞
