Ingredients

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for baking dish 1 pound ripe yellow peaches (about 3) 1 pound ripe white peaches (about 3) 1 pound fresh blackberries (about 3 heaping cups) 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 3 cups heavy cream 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; set aside. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl; set aside. Fill a large saucepan two-thirds full with water; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Score the bottom of each peach. Gently put peaches in the simmering water. Using a slotted spoon, remove peaches from water when skin easily peels away from the flesh, 1 to 2 minutes. Plunge into ice bath until cool enough to handle; peel immediately.

Cut each peach into 8 slices. Cut a third of slices in half crosswise (makes about 1 1/2 cups), and set aside. Place the remaining slices in a medium covered bowl, and set aside. In another medium bowl, combine the blackberries and 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside to macerate, stirring occasionally.

In a small bowl, whip 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form;set aside for batter. Whip remaining 2 cups cream in a mediumbowl; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, lightly beat eggs. Add remaining 3/4 cup sugar, and beat until mixture is pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Stir in vanilla. Into a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually stir flour mixture into egg mixture. Gently fold the reserved whipped cream into the batter in three additions. Pour the batter into prepared dish; spread evenly.

Scatter reserved peach pieces and a third of the blackberries over batter. Bake until the cake is golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

To assemble: Cut cake into six pieces. Place three pieces in the bottom of a straight-sided glass serving bowl or compote. Spoon half the fruit (and berry juice) over cake. Spoon half of refrigerated whipped cream over fruit. Repeat with remaining cake, fruit, and cream. Drizzle remaining berry juice over trifle.

Cook’s Notes Scatter peach pieces and blackberries evenly over the batter to ensure that there will be a bit of cooked fruit in every bite.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/27/2009   Looks delicious but I believe there is an error in the recipe. It says 1foot pure vanilla extract. I am guessing it should be 1 tsp. extract.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/06/2008   Regarding the questions about the heavy cream, this recipe is supposed to have 6 steps, not 5. I found the correct version by clicking a link from this window. Number 3 states, "In a small bowl, whip 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form; set aside for batter. Whip remaining 2 cups cream, and refrigerate." I hope this helps.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/04/2008   I would love to make this, but I also am very confused about how much of the heavy cream gets folded into the cake batter and how much gets usedc to make the wipped cream. Can anyone comment? Thank you  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/16/2008   THIS IS WONDERFUL, MAKES A BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION. EVERYONE WANTED THE RECIPE. WHICH I GAVE THEM ALONG WITH "HOW TO WHIP THE CREAM" AND KEEP IT RESERVED IN THE REFRIGERATOR. TO GET THE WHIP CREAM RECIPE JUST TYPE IN "WHIPPED CREAM" IN THE RECIPE FINDER..  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/29/2008   This recipe does not explain what to do with the heavy cream??? Halfway down the recipe it calls for "gently folding the "reserved" whipped cream - HELLO?? we haven't whipped or reserved ANYTHING yet - have a clue???
