Steps:
- For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and fine salt to combine. Add the butter and toss, separating the cubes and making sure each is fully coated with flour. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
- Make a well in the center of the bowl and add the buttermilk, egg and vanilla if using. Use a fork or small whisk to gently mix the ingredients together inside the well (focusing on breaking up the egg), then use your hands or a spatula to mix the dough until it is evenly combined.
- Scoop heaping 1/4 cup-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, staggering the biscuits to give them at least 1 1/2 inches all around. Brush the surface of each with cream and top with turbinado sugar.
- Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely.
- For filling and finishing: When ready to serve, heat a grill or grill pan until it's smoking hot. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates. Working in batches, place the peaches cut side down on the grill and cook until they have dark char marks, 2 to 3 minutes per peach. Remove the peaches from the grill and transfer to a plate. Drizzle each peach half with 1 teaspoon of the honey while it's still hot and sprinkle with flaky salt. Cut 4 of the peach halves up into thin slices.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to medium peaks.
- To serve, tear or cut each shortcake in half horizontally and place on a plate. Spoon a generous spoonful of whipped cream on top, and then top with a peach half. Once plated, divide the sliced peaches among the shortcakes and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Make cake:
- Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract in medium bowl to blend; transfer 1 tablespoon mixture to small bowl and reserve for glaze. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into large bowl; add butter. Using electric mixer, beat until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 3 minutes. Add buttermilk mixture and blend just until soft moist dough forms. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Using floured hands, gather dough into ball and knead gently for 6 turns. Transfer dough to ungreased baking sheet. Shape dough into 8-inch round. Brush top with reserved 1 tablespoon buttermilk mixture. Bake cake until top is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cake to rack and cool completely.
- Make filling:
- Toss plums, peaches, raspberries and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Let stand 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat mascarpone, whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla in large bowl until firm peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cut off top 1/3 of cake. Using small knife and leaving 1/2-inch border at edge, cut out enough of cake bottom to form 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Spread half of mascarpone cream in indentation. Using slotted spoon, remove fruit from bowl; mound onto cream. Reserve fruit juices in bowl. Spread remaining mascarpone cream over fruit. Cover with top of cake. Refrigerate cake and reserved juices separately, at least 3 hours and up to 6 hours.
- Let cake stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges. Drizzle with reserved fruit juices and serve.

Steps:
- Scatter the sugar over a plate, then dip the cut sides of the peach halves into the sugar. Heat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the sugared peach halves, cut-side down, until caramelised. Transfer the peach halves to a plate and carefully add the schnapps to the pan, if using, or a splash of water. Cook the liquid until reduced and syrupy, then return the peach halves to the pan and baste in the syrup. Remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.
- Beat the mascarpone and icing sugar together, then fold in the thyme leaves and double cream.
- Divide the crumbled biscuits between two plates, then put one peach half on top of each bed of crumbs. Spoon the mascarpone cream onto the plates alongside the peach halves, then scatter over the frozen raspberries. Serve immediately while the raspberries are still frozen.
