We got peaches in this weeks share (I’ll do another post on its contents), and I got this amazing cake recipe from a friend in Germany (with some other hints that I included in this transcription). One of the best cakes I’ve ever made.
Schlupfkuchen with Peaches
Ingredients:
* 150g Butter
* 150g sugar
* 3 eggs
* Peel of 1 lemon (I didn’t have this, and it was fine)
* 1 tsp vanilla essence
* Rum essence (to your taste, I just poured about a shots worth)
* 250g flour
* About 2 tsps baking powder
* ~1/2 cup milk, room temperature
* Peaches, peeled and halved (I cut into tiny pieces)
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Cream the butter, sugar, lemon peel, vanilla and rum essences together. Add in eggs one at a time (I forgot and added it at the same time as previous ingredients and it was still fine).
Whisk the flour and baking powder and fold into the butter mixture. Add half of the flour and the milk and gently incorporate. Then add the remaining flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
Pour the batter into a springform (24cm or 9.5” diameter is what we used). Spread out the peaches, cut side down, across the batter.
Bake for about 45 minutes. After the cake has cooled, spread some apricot or peach jam on top and dust with powdered sugar (I didn’t do any of this, but apparently the jam gives it a nice shine).
Let cool and enjoy!
