White chocolate, peach & pistachio cake

This is a slightly adapted version of a swell cake from bbcgoodfood - see the link for ingredients & method.  I've used more chocolate and peaches in the cake, added lime zest and almond extract to the frosting and some toasted hazelnuts for good measure. The lime and almond extract gives a sherbet-like quality to the frosting, combined with the sweet sticky cake and crunchy toasted nuts is just bang on. Similar to a blondie topped with sour cream.
