To make the cake

Preheat the oven to 160°C (315°F). Grease a 22 x 35 cm (8½ x 14 inch) baking dish, 7 cm (2¾ inches) deep. Line the base with baking paper, then grease again.

Using hand-held beaters or a stand mixer, beat all the cake ingredients for 3 minutes. Transfer to the dish.

Bake for 30 minutes, or until a metal skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to stand in the tin for 5 minutes, before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the custard

Place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat the milk and cream with the cocoa, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan until boiling. Gradually stir in enough cornflour paste to reach a thick custard consistency. Remove from the heat and pour it over the chocolate. Cover the bowl for 2 minutes, then stir to melt the chocolate. Place a piece of baking paper on the surface to stop a skin forming. Set aside to cool.

To make the topping

Using hand-held beaters or a stand mixer, whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Pat the peach slices dry with paper towel.

To make the glaze

Place the sugar, lemon juice and the reserved peach juice in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 4–5 minutes, or until thickened slightly. Allow to cool.

To assemble

Place the cake on a serving platter. Cut a shallow recess in the cake, scooping out the crumb, and leaving a 1 cm (½ inch) rim around the outside.

Fill with the cooled chocolate custard and smooth it out. Spread with the whipped cream mixture. Place the peaches on top of the cream and then brush with the glaze.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
