Peach melba squares

Hi! I had a lot of requests to put this yummy unique recipe on my blog so here it is!

EASY

Makes 12

Ingredients:
250g pack unsalted butter
300g golden caster sugar
1tsp vanilla extract200g self raising flour
3 large eggs
50g ground almonds
2 peaches, fresh or tinned stoned, halved then cut into 3
100g raspberries
1tbsp icing sugar, to finish



  1. Butter and line a traybake or small roasting tin, about 20 x 30cm. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Gently melt the butter in a saucepan, cool for 5 mins. Pour into a bowl and add the sugar, vanilla and eggs, then beat until smooth with a wooden spoon. Stir in the flour, almonds and ¼ tsp salt.
  2. Tip the mix into the tin, then lay the peach slices evenly on top - that way each square of cake will have a bite of fruit. Scatter the raspberries over, then bake for 1 hr-1 hr 10 mins, covering with foil after 40 mins. Test with a skewer: the middle should have just a tiny hint of squidginess, which will firm up once the cake cools. Cool in the tin for 20 mins, then lift out onto a cooling rack. Once cold, cut into squares then dredge in icing sugar.
