Preparation time: 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 4 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 85g granulated sugar
- 85g brown sugar
- 1 pkg vanilla sugar
- 125ml water
- 125 ml oil
- 250 g flour
- 1 pkg baking powder
- Oil for greasing the mold
- 7 peaches
For decoration:
- Powdered sugar
For the gluten-free alternative, replace the 250 g flour with:
- 150g rice flour
- 75 g corn starch or potato starch
- 10 g locust bean gum
- 10 g psyllium husks
Tip: If you don’t have locust bean gum, simply use 10 g more of the corn starch or potato starch, this has no influence on the result!
PREPARATION
- For this simple oil cake, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Then stir the yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar in another bowl until foamy.
- Then add water and oil and continue to beat until foamy.
- Mix the flour with baking powder or, for the gluten-free alternative, mix all the flours together well, sift and stir into the yolk mixture.
- Now just fold the egg whites into the mixture and stir into a creamy dough.
- Then place the dough in a tray lined with baking paper.
- Core the peach and cut into wedges – about 6 wedges per peach. Place the wedges on the dough. DO NOT press firmly. The dough rises during baking anyway, so that it encloses the peaches wonderfully.
- Bake at 180 degrees (top/bottom heat) in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
- If necessary, you can sprinkle the cake with icing sugar.
Of course, you can also use other fruit: apples, pears, apricots, cherries, plums, cranberries and much more are also ideal for this cake.
