I usually post a baking recipe on weekends so that you can read at peace and try baking at your leisure! I know how crazy it gets on the weekdays. Meal prepping, grocery, laundry, and the list goes on. This peach tea cake, however is quite easy to bake and you can bake during the weekdays and pack a few slices in the lunch box as a snack or enjoy during your afternoon tea time.
No creaming of butter and sugar, no frosting, yet you come up with a beautiful cake at the end! The stone fruit season is coming to an end and this peach tea cake is a must try before the peaches vanish from the market.
The cake looks so pretty and tastes equally good with sweet peaches in every bite. The yogurt in the recipe makes the cake very moist without overpowering the taste. The hint of nutmeg gives a warm, sweet flavor and the sesame topping adds a crunch to the cake.
The cake bakes perfectly with a gorgeous golden brown color and it looks so beautiful. You can pretty easily impress your family with this beautiful cake. Give this recipe a try and let me know how it turned out.
Tips:
Cool the cake completely before storing. You may cling wrap the cake or keep in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
