    1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 and grease a 22cm square baking tin.

    2 Put the olive oil spread and sugar in a mixing bowl and, using a hand-held electric whisk, cream together. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, polenta and half the zest, then mix well.

    3 Carefully fold in the peach slices, then spoon the mixture into the baking tin and bake for 30 min or until well risen, golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and leave to cool a little in the tin, then turn out on to a wire rack to cool completely.

    4 Dust with the icing sugar and sprinkle over the remaining lemon zest, then cut into 12–16 squares.
