Peach And Ground Almond Gluten Free Cake

Peach and ground almond gluten free cake

Let’s be very honest now. There is nothing better than a really nice light gluten free cake, fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. This peach and almond cake can be shared at tea time or have for breakfast with a nice natural yoghurt or kefir. Oh, how I rock already!

Oh yes, I like cakes of any type or flavour as long as they are homemade and contain some sort of fruit. Mmmmm... We absolutely love fruit cakes. Don’t you?

This cake contains no butter which makes it lighter and ....in my opinion, healthier.

I love gluten free cakes as I find them way lighter and give me no bloating issues which I sometimes experience with cakes made with regular flour.

I like butter (don’t we all) and I do bake with it sometimes but truthfully I try to stay away from it if I can, because butter is way too tasty and I can easily overdo on it. Thus, whenever I can, I replace it with a healthier option such as a bit of coconut oil or a good old organic rapeseed oil, or a pure rice bran oil. I do like other oils like avocado or walnut oil which I sometimes use in my baking. Those oils are rich in monounsaturated fats and have a high smoking point which makes them very safe to cook with.

Besides, with the amount of baking I do I’d probably use easily 4 packs (1kg) of butter a month. Wow, that's scary!

I do prefer home baking by miles and I’m pretty sure you agree with this. You know everything you put in that tray and for the kids, I see it as a far better option than any biscuits or cake that you can buy which are packed with E(s) all sort of artificial stuff.

You just try this cake and you won't simply love it but get hooked to it.

Equipment

  • glass bowl
  • ovenproof dish
  • Freestanding mixer

Ingredients

For cake:

  • 180 g almond (ground)
  • 200 g flour (gluten-free) sieved
  • 200 g cane sugar See recipe notes (a)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence (vanilla sugar 1 sachet)
  • 1 tsp soda bicarbonate (levelled) (b)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (levelled)
  • 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt or Himalayan pink salt (c)
  • 3 fresh peaches or 1 peach can
  • 3 tbsp yoghurt
  • 4 tbsp milk (or fruit juice from the peaches if use canned)
  • 170 ml oil (d)

For serving:

  • berries
  • creme fraiche or ice cream or full-fat yoghurt
Metric - US Imperial

Instructions

  • Line/grease an approx. 8-10’ (16-20 cm) ceramic dish and preheat the oven at 170C /325F.
  • Whizz the 200 g sugar and the 3 eggs for about 4-5 minutes in a freestanding electric mixer.
  • And the 170 ml oil little by little drizzling you all in while the mixer is working. The batter will get nice and fluffy.
  • Put in the yoghurt and fruit juice and give it a gentle fold for a further minute or so.
  • In a bowl mix the 180g almond flour together with the sieved 200g gluten-free flour, salt, the soda bicarbonate and baking powder which are best to be mixed with a little vinegar or lemon juice. Put in the vanilla or vanilla sugar.
  • Add the dry mixture to the egg mix and with the help of a spatula fold nicely and gently the flour in.
  • Pouring in the mix into the line lined tray/tin.
  • Chop the fruits into small pieces or slices.
  • Place the fruits on top pushing them slightly into the cake mix.
  • Place the tin into the preheated oven and bake at 170C/325F for 45-50 min until it is nice and golden on the outside. Baking time obviously depends on the oven as some cook faster than others and also if it is a fan-assisted one it will cook quicker and the temperature has to be slightly lower or the time shorter.
  • Just keep an eye on it and if you doubt whether it's ready or not just push slightly the middle of the cake and that will indicate if the cake is ready. It has to feel spongy.

Notes

(a) When it comes to sugar, of course, you can put 50 g more if you have a really sweet tooth. For me, this quantity is just perfect as I don't want my cakes to be overly sweet but feel free to increase the amount of sugar if you want or sprinkle some extra sugar on top just before putting it in the oven.
(b) Mix the soda bicarbonate with 1 tbsp lemon juice or cider vinegar, when putting it in.
(c) Use coarse salt as you will find some while eating the cake a bit of saltiness that hits your taste buds... is just to die for. I love it!! Use normal fine salt otherwise.
(d) As mentioned earlier, in terms of oil, you can use coconut oil, organic cold-pressed rapeseed oil, avocado or walnut or pure rice bran oil.

Serve and enjoy this cake with few more fruits added and some yoghurt or crème fraîche on the side. It's just divine!

    Hi Ramona in the ingredients you list '200 g flour (gluten-free) sieved'
    but in the recipe you refer to 300 grams flour. Which is the correct measurement?

    'In a bowl mix the 180g almond flour together with the sieved 300g gluten-free flour, salt, the soda bicarbonate a...'

    thanks, it looks delicious

    Maybe I didn’t follow directions right, but my cake color was brown, dense, and I’m glad I added cinnamon on top or it would have been pretty flavorless.
    I used the almond flour and all purpose gluten free flour. Used the cane sugar.. everything on this list as directed. Not sure what went wrong.

      Hi Steph,
      I am not sure what went wrong, did you work with the metric or the imperial measuring? I have made this recipe so many times before and I never had issues with it. It could have been the flour, I really cannot see why went wrong? Have you added the yoghurt and the milk too?

    I made this today, and it was delicious 🙂 The batter seemed quite thick, so I held back just a bit of the flour mix(my weighing might have been off), and then I folded in 1/2 of peach mixture (that I made with the sliced peach pieces, 2tbsp of peach preserves, and sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg). The other 1/2 of peach mixture went on top, and then topped that with chopped pecans, and brown sugar sprinkled over. It turned out great! THANK YOU!

    Looks great!

    I wanna try it, but a "sachet of sugar (vanillated)"?

    I have no idea what that is.

    We make vanilla sugar here with vanilla beans and castor sugar, but what is a sachet of sugar, and how much sugar does the sachet contain?

      Hi David,
      Sorry to have complicated things - we do get here vanilla sugar in little sachets of various sizes depending where you get them from. It amounts to one or two teaspoons of sugar that has a nice strong vanilla flavour.
      Your version sounds great too or simply use few drops of vanilla essence or 1/2 vanilla bean.
      Thank you so much for stopping by and I am looking forward to hearing back from you on how this cake came out for you and if you liked it as much as we do.;-)

    4 packs of butter a month, amateur... I easily go through that much between my wife and I and I don't bake (although much less in summer and spring) 😮 Yes I am naughty but life is too short to cook with butter subs! Having said that this looks delicious!

      Thank you so much - Oh waw Brian, I am impressed with the amount of butter you guys go through a month - we should dare more I feel - we can just about do a pack or two with baking 😉 it is too good that’s why we kinda keep the distance lol The reason I like the subs sometimes is only because of the texture - cakes are/feel a lot lighter with oil - I do agree with butter is amazing but hey - worth changing sometimes 😉 xx
