Keeps for up to 3 days in an airtight container
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Line the base and sides of a deep 23cm round cake tin or springform tin with baking paper.
- Sift the flour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture is crumbly, then stir in the sugar. Measure out 50g of the mixture into a small bowl for the topping and stir in the almonds.
- Combine the soft cheese, vanilla and sugar in another bowl until smooth, then set aside. Stone and roughly chop or slice the peaches.
- Mix the eggs and soured cream into the remaining flour mixture to make a batter, then pour this into the prepared cake tin. Dollop in spoonfuls of the soft cheese mixture, then lightly swirl through the cake mixture.
- If the peaches are very juicy, pat them dry on kitchen paper, then scatter over the top of the cake. Top with the crumble mixture, then bake for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut into wedges to serve.

Tip Out of season, use a 411g tin peach slices in juice, drained and patted dry. You can mix and match the fruit and nuts – try plums, nectarines, hazelnuts or pecans, or a mix of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. You can also bake this cake in a 20cm square tin for the same time, or in a 20 x 30cm traybake tin for 35-40 minutes.
