Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included) Make sure to choose a blend that contains xanthan gum for structure.
  • 0.5 cups almond flour Helps keep the cake moist.
  • 0.75 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons fine sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (or egg substitute)
  • 0.5 cups neutral oil (light olive oil or sunflower)
  • 0.5 cups plain yogurt or dairy-free yogurt For a dairy-free option.
  • 1 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 unit zest of 1 lemon

Toppings and Optional Glaze

  • 2-3 medium ripe peaches, sliced thinly Choose fragrant, slightly soft peaches.
  • 0.25 cups sliced almonds For topping, sprinkle evenly.
  • 1-2 tablespoons apricot jam, warmed For optional glazing.

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round pan with parchment.

Dry Ingredients

  • Whisk together gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, yogurt, almond extract, and lemon zest until smooth.

Combine

  • Fold the wet mix into the dry ingredients gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Assemble

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Arrange peach slices in a concentric pattern, gently pressing them into the batter. Sprinkle sliced almonds evenly.

Bake

  • Bake for 35–45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.

Glaze (Optional)

  • Brush the warm cake with warmed apricot jam for shine.

Cool and Serve

  • Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Measure flour carefully: spoon and level for best results with gluten-free blends. Room-temperature ingredients mix more evenly. Ripe peaches are key for best flavor. Prevent dryness by adding extra yogurt if necessary.
