Almond and Peach Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp almond extract (optional, but adds great flavor)
• ½ cup whole milk
• 3-4 ripe peaches (peeled and sliced)
• ¼ cup sliced almonds (for topping)
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

4. Add eggs and flavoring: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extract.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

6. Fold in peaches: Gently fold in about half of the sliced peaches into the batter.

7. Pour into the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Arrange the remaining peach slices on top of the batter in a decorative pattern.

8. Add almond topping: Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top.

9. Bake: Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

This cake pairs beautifully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream! Enjoy your almond and peach cake!
