Cake base:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or 1¼ cups almond flour + ¼ cup coconut flour for GF)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (you love buttery richness!)
- ¾ cup brown sugar substitute (e.g., monk fruit brown sugar blend—you love blood sugar friendly!)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup buttermilk or unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled & diced (about 3 medium—you want ripe but firm!)
Cinnamon swirl topping:
- 3 tbsp brown sugar substitute
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
1. Prep:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9″ baking pan.
2. Make batter:
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat butter and brown sugar substitute until light (~2 min).
- Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk; mix until just combined.
- Fold in diced peaches.
3. Swirl topping:
Mix brown sugar substitute, cinnamon, and melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over batter; use a knife to gently swirl.
4. Bake:
Bake 35–40 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before slicing.
