There's this wonderful recipe for peach tea cake!


2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 -1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped mixed stone fruit, fresh or frozen


Preheat oven to 250F. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Using a handheld mixer with beaters or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter together on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition, then stir in the vanilla and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture and stir just until smooth dough forms. Pat into prepared pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm. Cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Enjoy !
