Ingredients
- 4- 5 peaches
- 150 grams butter; soft 2/3 cups
- 150 grams sugar 3/4 cups
- 2 sachets vanilla sugar or use vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 250 g flour 1 1/2 cups
- 50 g cornstarch 1/4 cups + 2 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 50 ml milk 1/4 cup
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 360F / 180 C. Halve the peaches, remove the stone and cut the fruit into slices.
-
Line a 9 inch springform pan (23 - 26 cm diameter) and grease the sides.
-
Cream the softened butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until white and fluffy for about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in the eggs, one after another and also add in the salt. In a separate bowl, combine flour with cornstarch and baking powder and sift the mixture over the butter egg mix. Switch to a whisk or spatula or turn the handmixer down do low and combine the dry ingredients into the butter mix. Pour in the milk as well to bring it all together.
-
Spread the cake batter into the prepared, lined springform pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter as you see in the picture.
-
Pop the cake into the oven for about 45 minutes. Start checking the cake at around 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick or paring knife into the center of the cake to see if the crumb has set. If the tester comes out clean, it's done. If it comes out gummy or with crumbs clinging to it, the cake needs more time in the oven.
