📝 Ingredients
2 large canned peaches, or 1½ cups diced peaches (well-drained)
3 large eggs
200g (1 cup) plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
100g (½ cup) granulated sugar
50ml (3½ tbsp) vegetable oil (sunflower or canola)
1 tsp vanilla extract
130g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp cornstarch (optional – for extra fluffiness)
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line a 7-inch (18 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the peaches: Dice the peaches into small cubes (around 1 cm) and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess juice.
- Make the batter:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and foamy.
Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add dry ingredients:
Sift in the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
Gently fold everything together until just combined — don’t overmix.
- Incorporate the peaches:
Fold in most of the diced peaches, keeping a few aside for decoration if desired.
- Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool & decorate:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
