Nigel Slater's Cake for Midsummer with peaches and blueberries

IMG_8693.thumb.jpg.da5be997d4c946cb8efd711ce4f6d820.jpg

Very similar to the Marian Burros Original Plum Torte from the dreaded NYT.  

Differences are golden caster sugar instead of white and the addition of ground almonds, a bit of orange zest and vanilla extract.

Chopped peaches and blueberries are stirred in instead of being placed on top in larger slices. 

 

I used white peaches because the ones I had were really ripe.  Sadly, they're about the same color as the cake so they don't stand out.  Should have sliced them and put them on top.

I sliced this up, removed a very small sliver for quality control :D, smooshed it all back into a circle and packed it up in a pizza box to take down to my peach peeps at the farmers market. 

 

Edited to add that the peach peeps liked the cake and gifted me with ~ 6 lbs of very ripe peaches I can play with.
