Peach Almond Cake

Ingredients

Main
Demerara sugar (or brown)1 tbsp
Sliced fresh peaches (about 3)2 cups (300g)
All purpose flour1 ½ cup (188g)
Baking powder1 tsp
Baking soda¼ tsp
Salt¼ tsp
Algae Cooking Club neutral oil½ cup (113g)
Granulated sugar⅔ cup (133g)
Eggs, room temperature2
Plain greek yogurt, at room temperature3/4 cup (180g)
Almond extract1 ½ tsp
Slivered almonds¼ cup
Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350F. Line and grease an 8” pan.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the demerara sugar and peaches, taking care not to bruise the fruit. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, eggs, yogurt, almond extract, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the dry mix and whisk until no streaks remain and the batter is fairly smooth.

Step 4

Pour roughly half of the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out across the bottom. Add ¾ of the peaches and half of the almonds in a thin layer. Cover with the remaining batter, and then the remaining fruit and almonds.

Step 5

Bake for 50-55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, and then carefully remove. Let cool completely and then dust with powdered sugar before serving. Wrap well to store - best the next day.
