THB #24: Peach-Almond Coffee Cake

Peach-Almond Coffee Cake

It’s time for a belated Home Bakers again… oops! Sorry for the delay! I baked this cake twice as I wasn’t very happy with the first attempt, hence missing the dateline for this bake. This time, we are baking a very simple peach butter cake, chosen by Chaya from Bizzy Bakes – I really love how pretty this cake looks, with all the peach slices and almond flakes adorning all over the cake!

Peach-Almond Coffee Cake

This butter cake is nice, fragrant, rich and soft with bits of peaches and almond in every bite. This will be a great cake with tea or coffee! And here are the step-by-step photos!

cream egg
1) Cream butter and sugar together. 2) Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
sift
3) Sift in flour, baking powder and salt. 4) Spread the batter and arrange the peach slices.
sprinkle bake
5) Scatter toasted almonds all over. 6) Top with brown sugar and bake away!

Peach-Almond Coffee Cake

I only need a cup of coffee or tea and it would have been perfect!

The Home Bakers

As part of the rules, I’m not allowed to post the full recipe, so I’m listing down the ingredients I’ve used and some notes. For the full recipe woth instructions, please head over to Chaya’s blog! For all other Home Bakers attempt on this bake, please head over here to see the roundup!


Peach-Almond Coffee Cake (makes a 7-inch cake)

adapted from Coffee Cakes by Lou Seibert Pappas

1 can of peach halves (drain weight about 250 grams), drained, rinsed and sliced into 1/8-inch slices
75 grams unsalted butter (1/3 cup)
115 grams caster sugar (1/2 cup)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
85 grams all-purpose flour (2/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon table salt
3 tablespoons almond flakes, toasted
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar

For the steps, please head over to Chaya’s blog!

Super Naggy:


  • I used canned peach halves and swapped the cashews for almonds.
  • Rinse the peach halves in water to get rid of the syrup then dab the surface dry with a kitchen towel before slicing so that the peaches will not add too much moisture to the cake.
  • As the butter cake uses very few ingredients, it is essential to use very good quality butter and vanilla so that the rich buttery taste and the fragrant vanilla flavour can come through.
  • Store the cake in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 days. Let the cake come to room temperature before serving.

Happy baking!

    Jasline, I know what you mean when you aren’t happy with your bake 🙂 We are always harder on ourselves isn’t it? Same for me too. Your 2nd bake is perfect to me, just missing a cup of hot tea 😉

    Jasline , sometimes it is much better to make the full recipe 😀 I remember my attempt on making rugelach , I’ve made half and the crust is so thin , I can hardly roll it since it was sticking on the parchment paper . I had to chucked it out , goodbye 1/2 cup of butter *sigh* Anyway , that coffee cake looks perfectly-baked and I bet it taste as delicious as it looks !

      Oh Anne! We both had the same problem with rugelach! I feel so sorry for the butter 🙁 But most times I don’t want to bake the full recipe because I can’t find enough people to help me finish it… Thank you for your compliments! Yes my friend finished 2 huge slices for breakfast! 🙂

    Hi Jasline,

    Your cake looks very pretty!

    I realise too that this is going to be a flat cake but decided not to bake it because I was running out of time :p Keeping up with all these events are exhausting !

      Hi Emily! I baked only 1/3 of the cake the first time so the cake base was very flat and I didn’t dry the peaches, so the cake was too moist for me!
