- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- For the Peach Topping:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or use canned peaches, drained)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- For the Almond Topping:
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Peach Topping: In a medium bowl, toss the peach slices with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Set aside.
- Mix the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using).
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Arrange the peach slices evenly on top of the batter.
- Prepare the Almond Topping: In a small bowl, mix the sliced almonds with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the peaches and batter.
- Bake: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.
