Peach Melba Crumble Traybake #GBBO #CakeWeek

17 Comments

Perfect for autumn this Peach Melba Crumble Traybake is a great way of combining cake and a crumble in one easy bake. Served as a dessert or just with a cuppa, this is delicious and simple to make.

So it is week 2 of the Great British Bake Off and it is my favourite one because it is Cake Week. I am sharing my Peach Melba Crumble Traybake with you as my bake along recipe, but before I go into detail about it lets do some GBBO news.

So it is week 2 of the Great British Bake Off and it is my favourite one because it is Cake Week. I am sharing my Peach Melba Crumble Traybake with you as my bake along recipe, but before I go into detail about it lets do some GBBO news.

Cake week was tonight and wasn’t there some delicious bakes made? The show’s baking categories were:

Signature – Traybake 

Technical – la gateaux vert (never heard of this before!) 

Show Stopper – Chocolate Collar Cake 

I could have featured a chocolate show stopper cake as I still have my son’s birthday cake to blog about. However, due to the excess of fruit I have had to use up this last week, I decided to make a traybake instead and here it is.

Peach Melba Crumble Traybake

I found some peaches in Tesco for just 10p a punnet. Sadly my boys will not eat them just as a snack. Therefore, along with some raspberries that I found that were a little squidgy, I opted to make a peach melba inspired cake. Mind you this is no ordinary cake, because it has a crumble topping. After all, autumn is a great time to make crumbles and seeing as though the weather last week had turned a bit autumnal , to combine that with a cake seemed like a brilliant idea. 

It is very easy to make and it does taste really good.

Of course, this could be made using other fruit such as apples (with or without blackberries), pears or even rhubarb.

Helen and I both agreed that it had to go to Corina and her cute ducks . These appeared on GBBO’s Extra Slice ,well they were there in the background along with Corina, and I think that they were better than some of the featured biscuits on the show to be honest!!!  So well done Corina x

  2. Wow! I’m so excited I’ve got star baker! Thanks so much! Now I’m feeling a little guilty that I don’t have a cake planned for this week. I will try to join in again though. I think your peach melba traybake looks delicious – I love cakes with a crumble topping. x

    Such a lovely seasonal traybake Jenny. I do love cakes with crumble toppings and seasonal fruit, perfect comfort bake. I feel your pain as my boys would never eat fresh peaches as a snack either but baked into this lovely cake definitely! Thank you for sharing with #BakingCrumbs 🙂 x

  15. I love the peach melba combination Jenny, it’s perfect for this time of year – and I have to say what a bargain the punnet of peaches were – 10p – wow!! My taste buds are so happy that you popped a leyer of crumble on there – crumble is one of my all time favourite desserts! Serious yum! I mst apologise for not having baked along as yet Jenny – I’ve been a bit pushed for time and it’s not helped by the fact that we’re waiting for a replacement part for the oven!!! Argghhhh!! Thankyou for linking up with #BakingCrumbs,

  16. This Peach Melba Crumble Cake sounds and looks delicious, Jenny! I think this will be a great type of food to bring to our Christmas gathering or to give out to family and friends as a simple token of gratitude. We will be trying this out to see if we can mix some nuts in or not; would you recommend them? Thanks for sharing!
