Peach Butter Cake

Oh. Em. Gee. This cake turned out fantastic. Melt in your mouth, buttery goodness with the sweet taste of fresh baked peaches. I ate a whole loaf (well.. it was a mini loaf, but still...). This cake is also vegan, I've been practicing vegan recipes for a friend's baby shower - but you can make a non vegan version if you like.

Vegan Peach Butter Cake

Ingredients (Makes 2-3 mini loaves, or 1 regular loaf)

1 1/2 Cup all purpose flour or cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
4 TBSP cup vegan butter (Earth Balance) at room temp (or regular butter/margarine) or canola oil
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup Tofutti sour cream or soy yogurt
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup non dairy milk
1 fresh peach


Lets Bake!

1. Set your oven to 350 F.
2. Grease your muffin pan(s) and set aside
3. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl. Set aside
4. In another mixing bowl, mix the butter and sugar until it is nice and creamy, tiny clumps of butter are OK.
5. In butter sugar mixture, whisk in sour cream, vanilla, and apple sauce, and 1/4 cup almond milk.
6. Add in flour mix to wet mixture little by little, whisk together well.
7. The consistency should not be too thin, should have medium thick viscosity similar to pound cake batter. If you lift your whisk and the batter drips making thick ribbons, then you are good to go. If it is on the thin side, add a TBSP of flour. If it is too thick add a TBSP of almond milk. Repeat either until you reach the right consistency.
8. Once you are happy with the batter, pour it into you greased pan(s)
9. Slice peaces about 1/4 inch thick and layer over the top of the batter:



10. Place in oven and bake 35-45 min. (Check at the 35 min mark with cake tester, if it does not come out clean, allow to bake 10 more minutes and check again. Sorry - I have not figured out an exact baking time, because, I kind of winged it.) The edges should be a nice golden brown.
11. Let the cake cool at least 15-20 min and then you can remove from the pan. Enjoy!



Peach Butter Cake with Coconut Caramel Sauce

I topped it with some homemade coconut caramel sauce. I am still perfecting this recipe, but I will post soon!
