Almond-Peach Gluten Free Cake





Almond-Peach Gluten Free Cake

Ingredients

3 peaches (canned peaches work just fine)
1 ¾ cups sugar (I used sugar free pancake syrup-butter flavor)
6 large eggs
½ tsp peach extract
1 lb + 2 tbs almond flour
1/8 tsp Madagascar Pure Ground Vanilla
Water
Ice

Preheat the oven at 350 F.

Cut a cross on bottom of peaches and cook them in boiling water until the peel starts to detach (about 5 minutes). If working with canned peaches, omit the steps related. Remove them from the heat and shock them in iced water. Peel them; slice some for garnish and chop the rest for the batter.

Mix eggs, sugar, and peach extract. In another bowl, mix almond flour with ground vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the eggs and incorporate the chopped peaches.

Bake in a prepared cake pan for about 30 minutes or until done. Serve warm or cold.

Enjoy!
