PEACH CAKE
Persikotårta
A thin, brittle cake layer of pie dough, shortcrust dough or puff pastry with a lovely filling of peaches and strawberries or raspberries makes a refreshing, not so overly fatty cake. Glaze with apple jelly.
Makes 1 cake = 8 to 10 pieces
Shortcrust layer:
7 oz butter or margarine
0.2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
2 cups flour
Filling:
4 peaches
2 cups fresh strawberries or raspberries
0.2 cup apple jelly
Stir fat and sugar until fluffy, stir in the egg yolks and work the flour into it. Shape the dough to a bun and leave in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the fruit. Rinse the peaches, make cuts in them and pull off the skin. Rinse the berries if needed. Cut the peaches in wedges and drizzle with some lemon juice.
Heat the oven to 440F. Roll out the dough to a round cake and line a round, shallow pie pan, preferably a springform pan, with the dough. Bake for about 20 minutes or until nicely colored and seems done. Take it out and allow to cool. Cover with peach wedges and berries.
Warm up the jelly a Little so that it only just melts, then gently pour it over the fruit to glaze it.
This is lovely to serve as it is or with whipped cream or ice cream.
Enjoy!
