Peach Cake is a light and tender cake packed full of delicious fresh peach slices. This simple cake is the perfect way to enjoy summer flavors with a cup of coffee or tea.
Ingredients
For the peaches:
- 5 large peaches thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the cake:
- 4 large eggs separated
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup oil vegetable oil or a similar light-tasting oil
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour
Optional Topping:
- icing sugar for dusting over top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 10 inch large round baking pan (or similar) with parchment paper or grease it generously with butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, place half the peach slices and toss them with sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Using two large mixing bowls, separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Begin by whipping the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar. To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix to combine.
- Add the baking powder to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, slowly mix in the flour and the whipped egg whites, alternating between the two until it is all incorporated. The cake batter will be thick.
- Fold the peaches tossed in sugar and cinnamon into the cake batter. Pour the cake batter into the baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly. Top with the remaining peach slices.
- Bake the cake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cooled, dust it with icing sugar and serve.
