dust with icing sugar

ruby this is a lovely cake but don't be worried in the middle when adding the rasps/peaches/cheese etc - it looks like a dogs dinner but it turns out lovely

Peach Muffins:
2 peaches - stoned and chopped
2 eggs - beaten
100ml milk
100ml natural yogurt
75ml sunflower oil
1tsp vanilla extract
225g plain flour
3tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinammon
100g wholemeal plain flour
100g brown sugar

Oven to 180 degree or gas mark 4

put eggs, milk, yogurt, oil and vanilla in bowl and whisk. add peaches and stir

in seperate bowl sift plain flour/ baking soda/salt and cinammon/wholemeal flour/sugar and mix

fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients but stop mixing as soon as it all comes together - should still look lumpy

divide between 12 muffin cases and sprinkle tops with a little brown sugar and put in oven for 20-25 minutes

leave to cool in tin for few minutes then transfer to rack

100g set honey
100ml water
juice 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon cornflour

Apricots Peaches:

30g light muscovado sugar

finely grated zest of 1 lemon
125ml milk
200g plain flour - sifted
