2. Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.

Mix until smooth and lump-free.

3. Cook the Cake

• Lightly grease a non-stick pan with oil or a small knob of butter.

• Arrange the peach slices in a single, even layer on the bottom of the pan.

• Pour the batter over the peaches and spread it evenly with a spatula.

• Cover the pan with a lid and cook over low heat for 30–35 minutes.

• Check doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.

• Optional: Flip the cake onto a plate and return it to the pan to cook the top side for another 5 minutes.

 Tips & Variations

• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.

• For more texture, fold extra peach chunks directly into the batter.

• Swap part of the flour with almond flour for added softness.

• For a lighter version, use brown sugar and plant-based milk (like almond or oat milk).

How to Serve

 

Let the cake cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
It’s just as delicious served cold—try it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a cool, creamy touch.
