Almond Cake With Peaches And Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon.
• Spread half of the batter evenly in the pan. Top with half of the peaches, then sprinkle with two-thirds of the sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter on top, arrange the remaining peaches on top, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture and the pecans.
• Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the oil, eggs, almond extract, vanilla bean seeds and 1/2 cup of the skyr. Stir to combine. Fold in the diced peaches and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
• Bake until the loaf is golden brown, begins to come away from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and let cool, right-side up, to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, combine the peach jelly and remaining 1/2 cup skyr in a small bowl, leaving a few streaks of jelly. Set aside.
• Slice the cooled cake with a serrated knife. Top with a dollop of the prepared skyr and garnish with sliced peaches and mint sprigs. The Peaches and Cream Breakfast Cake keeps for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
