Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup diced peaches
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and free of any lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and honey until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a consistent batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter incorporation
- Don't overmix the batter—this can make your cake dense and tough
- For extra moisture, choose ripe, juicy peaches
- Use parchment paper for easy cake removal and perfect presentation
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick—it should come out clean
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its delicate structure
- For a gourmet touch, toast some sliced almonds and sprinkle on top before serving
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
