Category: Desserts

For the Cake:
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp self-rising flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup ground almonds
4 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 can peach halves, drained
Cream or ice cream, for serving

For the Glaze:
2 tbsp apricot jelly or jam
1 tbsp water

FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Combine the flour, baking powder and ground almonds and fold into the egg mixture in 3 batches. Add the butter and vanilla with the last batch. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and arrange the peaches on top. Bake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from the pan.

FOR THE GLAZE: Combine the apricot jelly or jam and water in a saucepan and cook over low heat until blended. Brush the cake with the glaze and serve warm, with cream or ice cream.
