You know how I feel about my almond flour recipes<\/a> and almond flour cakes<\/a> are some of my favorite cakes to bake!<\/p>\n

Because peaches have been so ripe and lovely lately, I\u2019ve been loving adding them to my baked goods, such as my Peach Baked Oatmeal<\/a> and peach muffins<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And now, this cake! Rather than leaving the peaches raw, which is what I normally do, I caramelized them to soft perfection before topping the cake with them. The end result is a bigger peach flavor with amazing texture.<\/p>\n

The way I see it, this cake is the perfect sweet treat to enjoy for brunch or breakfast alongside Greek yogurt or cottage cheese when you\u2019re feeling something fruity. It can also double as dessert when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

The simple ingredients are straightforward, as always! Here are the fine details as to why I chose each individual ingredient.<\/p>\n

Ingredient Notes:<\/h2>\n

Almond Flour: <\/strong>The base of the cake, almond flour creates a light and fluffy texture that gives a rustic vibe for a clean feeling treat. <\/p>\n

I use Bob\u2019s Red Mill Super Fine Almond Flour<\/a> and have noticed varying brands of almond flour can have different absorbencies and textures. Just note this when choosing your brand.<\/p>\n

Ripe Peaches: <\/strong>The main ingredient here, ripe sweet peaches give the cake a refreshing feel and are responsible for delicious peach flavor. <\/p>\n

I recommend sticking with fresh juicy peaches rather than using canned peaches if possible. Nevertheless, if you\u2019re baking this cake outside of peach season, canned peaches will work.<\/p>\n

Eggs:<\/strong> A few eggs help the cake batter rise to full fluff. I haven\u2019t tested the recipe with an egg substitute, and I don\u2019t typically recommend swapping out the eggs in almond flour recipes unless you have experience doing so.<\/p>\n

Pure Maple Syrup:<\/strong> The sweetener here that also provides some moisture content. For me, this cake is perfectly sweet without being a sugar bomb.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Avocado Oil: <\/strong>Here for richness, avocado oil generates a moist crumb for the best texture. I love that it contains a decent amount of omega-3 fatty acids and has a neutral flavor.<\/p>\n

Vanilla Extract and Almond Extract:<\/strong> Both vanilla and almond extract add a lovely warm flavor to the cake. Almond extract enhances the flavor profile to make the cake taste nutty, because it doesn\u2019t have a huge amount of flavor otherwise.<\/p>\n

Baking Soda and Lemon Juice: <\/strong>The leavening agent. Baking soda and lemon juice combine to form the right chemical reaction to help the cake batter rise and bake evenly.<\/p>\n

Sea Salt:<\/strong> Big flavor enhancer! Salt brings out the sweetness and peach essence of the cake.<\/p>\n
