Peach and Cherry Almond Dessert
Peach and cherries are baked with almonds and quick-cooking oats in a dense vanilla dessert. Both fruits are stoned and diced, and the oat mixture rests briefly before flour is added.
Method
Steps
Step 1
Wash the fruit first; quantities refer to prepared edible weights. Remove the peach stone and cut the flesh into 5 mm dice. Remove the cherry stones and chop the fruit into 5 mm pieces. Use shelled almonds and chop finely.
Step 2
Use 120 g dry quick-cooking rolled oats; whole grains and steel-cut oats need a different method.
Step 3
Set the oven to 175°C, conventional heat. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm square metal cake tin, at least 5 cm deep, with baking parchment.
Step 4
Cream 90 g butter (softened) with 150 g brown sugar for 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in 100 g beaten egg, weighed without shell. Mix in 2 tsp vanilla. Use vanilla extract.
Step 5
Fold in 80 g peach, 180 g cherries, 90 g almonds, 120 g quick-cooking rolled oats. Let the oats absorb moisture for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Combine 100 g all purpose flour. Fold into the fruit mixture until no dry flour remains.
Step 7
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared tin. Bake 35-45 minutes. Bake until set throughout, with no raw batter on a skewer; the centre must also reach at least 74°C. Cover with foil if the surface darkens first.
Step 8
Rest in the tin for 30 minutes before cutting into 10 portions. Serve warm from the tin, or lift out only when the bake holds together.
