1 Peaches and clotted cream cake

We've turned the classic combo of peaches and cream into an easy upside-down cake. When clotted cream is added to cake batter you get a really fluffy textured sponge and extra creamy flavour. Ground almonds help to absorb some of the moisture from the peaches but also boost the flavour. Serve with extra clotted cream or ice cream.
