I had to cook it a little longer and burnt the bottom. Otherwise it was delicious and a great way to use some super fresh peaches.

The best cake I have ever made from scratch! I used homemade "buttermilk": 1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar, 1 cup regular soy milk, combine and let sit at least 10 minutes. Not too sweet. The foil worked great for removing the cake cleanly for serving.

I absolutely love this cake! I am the person who loves to bake, but usually am not all that thrilled with cake. The peaches were the ingredient that got me to try this one. It is now one of my favorite cakes. I made this as a quick birthday cake for a friend. I had fresh peaches on hand and took the risk to try something new for my wonderful friend. It did not dissappoint. I did use 3 peaches on top because I wanted it to taste like Peach Cake. Yummo, what a delightfully delicious treat. The ground almonds give this cake Pizzaz. It is lightly sweet, very moist and simply delicious.
