How to make this Gluten Free Peach Cake
This cake is simple to make. Just take the time to lay out your dairy goods with enough time to bring them to room temperature. This will allow your batter to come together quickly and easily.
Do not pick peaches for this recipe that are over ripe or hard. Pick peaches that have started to soften. This will allow you to peel, core and slice them with ease.
Watch the time on baking. With the sugar topping your cake will brown up, you just don’t want it to over brown. At around 40 minutes take a peek and if needed cover loosely with foil until cake is cooked through evenly. A toothpick in the cake will let you know when this happens when the toothpick comes out clean.
