Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature, plus more for bowl and pan
3 large peaches, pitted and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup sanding sugar
2 tablespoons red currant, apricot, or peach jelly

Steps:

  • Combine 1 teaspoon sugar and milk in a glass measuring cup. Sprinkle yeast over milk and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add egg and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and beat to combine. Knead dough for 5 minutes. Add butter, piece by piece, and continue to knead until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and remove from bowl. Pat dough into a buttered 13-by-9 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange peaches on dough in a slightly overlapping pattern and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown and set in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Brush peaches with jelly. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

This cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and the peaches were mushy. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake is a perfect summer dessert. The peaches are sweet and juicy, and the cake is light and fluffy. I love the almond flavor in the cake.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out great. I love that I can use fresh or frozen peaches. I also like to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

I was looking for a peach cake recipe that was different from the usual. This recipe caught my eye because it uses almond flour. The cake was delicious! The almond flour gave it a unique and nutty flavor.
