I made this Simple Summer Peach Cake for my friend's birthday. There's nothing quite like fresh summer peaches. This cake only takes 15 minutes to prepare. You could serve it with some whipped cream or ice cream, but it's delicious on its own.
- Prep: 15 mins
- Cook: 1 hrs 5 mins
- Yields: 8 Servings
Directions
1Preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
2Cut the peaches into bite-sized pieces. Toss the peaches with nutmeg and 2 tablespoons sugar. Set aside.
3Cream together the butter and remaining sugar with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add the egg, buttermilk and extracts, and stir to combine.
4Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add this flour mixture to the butter mixture, mix until smooth (some lumps may remain). Pour into the prepared pan.
5Press the peaches into the top of the cake. They can be nicely arranged, but I like to cram as many peaches as possible into the cake. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
6Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven heat to 325° F and bake for an additional 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
