## Steps

1. Drain the peaches in a colander so the liquid runs off, and leave them there. (5 min)
2. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale and fluffy. (10 min)
3. Melt the butter in the microwave and let it cool. Melt the chocolate with 240ml of the milk. (10 min)
4. Add the melted chocolate and butter to the yolk mixture, mix with a whisk, and pour in the dark rum. (5 min)
5. Add the crushed amaretti biscuits and mix with a whisk. (3 min)
6. Sift the flour with the baking powder, stir in the vanilla extract, and mix into the batter until smooth. (5 min)
7. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until very stiff, and gently fold into the batter with a wooden spoon. (5 min)
8. Cut the peaches into pieces and fold into the batter, mixing gently. (5 min)
9. Grease the tin with butter, dust with flour, and pour in the batter. (5 min)
10. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cake for 50-60 minutes. (60 min)
11. Remove from the oven, let it cool completely, and dust with icing sugar.

## What was changed

Replaced Dark rum with ordinary dark rum and Baking powder with plain baking powder, adding Vanilla extract for vanilla flavour, as these sachets are rarely sold in UK shops.
