Song of the day: Peaches - The Presidents Of The United States of America

We have been eating a lot of peaches, lately, and I also used them quite a bit in my baking. They are just too good at this time of summer. Sweet, juicy, bright as the sun that kisses them on the tree.

Freestone peaches 

The peaches I used in this cake are freestone peaches, meaning that the peach falls right off the pit. Since all you have to do is slice the peach down the middle and pull it right off the pit, they are great to make slices to arrange on a cake like this Spelt flour Peach Yogurt Cake. They are also amazing to eat like that, or you can grill them on the bbq and fill with gelato. In August, freestones are most likely the peaches you are going to get. Of course, you can use any kind of peaches: yellow peaches, white peaches, clingstone, nectarines.

Can I use canned peaches?

I haven't tried, but I am confident that canned peaches would work fine in this cake. A bonus, if you canned the peaches yourselves!

The preparation

It is a simple, straightforward cake to make. Follow these steps and you will be rewarded with a delicious Peach Cake.

1. First, preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Butter and flour a 22cm/9-inch springform baking pan. Using a springform pan will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan without ruining the top.
2. Then, you want to peel and chop two peaches and set aside. Peel and slice the other two peaches which you will need for the top.
3. After that, sift the flour with the salt and baking powder, then add the cardamom and grate in the zest of a lemon.
4. Next, in the bowl of a stand mixer, or with a handheld mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar and the vanilla for a few minutes, until the mixture is light and foamy.
5. Next, add the oil slowly, continuing to beat to incorporate. Then, add the yogurt at room temperature.
6. Finally, add the sifted flour mixture and mix just until combined.
7. Add the peach chunks to the batter and blend with a spatula, without overmixing.
8. Pour the mixture into the springform pan. Arrange the sliced peaches on the surface, pressing them down just a little.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until nice and golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes before unmolding.
11. Dust with icing sugar, optional.

You can replace the spelt flour with all-purpose flour.

You can leave the skin on the peaches after washing them, if you like.

The cake stays moist for 3-4 days in a cake dome. I haven't tried freezing it.
