I appear to have found the baking bug, I blame Dan Lepard, every time I flick through his book I find something else to have a go at making. This one from the cake section leapt out at me last night and scanning through the ingredients I had nearly everything already in my cupboard...apart from saffron....jeez you need a bank loan to buy any of this stuff, £3.50 for half a gram! but no matter it's not as if buying it is a regular occurrence.
I am submitting this for
Karen and Kate's Tea Time Treats challenge (Christmas theme, chosen by Kate) because it's a little different than the usual cakes at this time of year plus it's got icing sugar sprinkled on it so it looks like snow.....*clutches straw*
Recipe available here:

Verdict
Soft, nutty, sweet, juicy.....oh just make it already it's blooming lovely.
I LOVE saffron and peaches and in a cake? Divine! Love the photos and the cake is perfect for our Festive Tea Time Treats! Thanks for entering! Karen
