Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 130 grams All-purpose flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 1 gram Salt
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 4 pieces Ripe peaches
- 2 grams Ground cinnamon
- 10 milliliters Lemon juice
- 10 grams Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan. Lightly dust the inside with flour and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter to the prepared springform pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter in a concentric circular pattern, overlapping slightly.
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches.
Bake the torte on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are golden brown.
Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully release the springform and transfer the torte to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
