Time 1h20m

Yield one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 medium peaches or nectarines, pitted and cut into 6 wedges each
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup whole milk
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-inch-round cake pan. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon water and cook, stirring occasionally, until smooth and deep golden brown, 8 to 11 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and tilt to coat the bottom. Arrange the peach wedges snugly in the bottom of the pan in a single layer, cutting to fit if needed.
  • Combine the flour, almonds, baking powder and salt in a food processor and pulse until the almonds are finely ground.
  • Beat the remaining 7 tablespoons butter and 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour mixture; beat in each addition until just incorporated.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 30 minutes. Invert onto a plate and let cool completely. Serve with ice cream.

I love this cake! The peaches are always perfectly caramelized and the cake is so moist. I've made it several times and it's always a hit.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The peaches were very juicy and the cake was moist. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
