- Can I use tinned peaches?
- Yes, but reduce the sugar quantity and drain thoroughly from the juice, otherwise it will make the cream soggy.
- The cream didn't set.
- The acidity of the peach (especially if unripe) can weaken the gelatine, or simply not enough time has passed. Patience!

Instructions
Dip the peaches into boiling then iced water for 10 seconds. Peel off the skins, remove stones. Choose a nice piece for decoration, dice the rest.
Blend the diced peach with lemon juice and icing sugar until completely smooth.
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Once bloomed, heat gently (do not boil!) until liquid. Mix in 2 tablespoons of peach purée (tempering), then pour the whole lot back into the purée and mix thoroughly.
Whip the cold double cream into medium peaks. It doesn't need to be rock hard, let it be soft but hold its shape.
Fold the whipped cream into the gelatine peach purée with gentle movements.
Place the sponge layer in the cake tin (worth lining the sides with baking parchment too). Pour the cream over it, tap the tin on the table a few times to release air bubbles, and smooth.
Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Decorate with reserved peach slices before serving.
