I’ve made this cake 3 times now with no changes, and it’s amazing. The almond and vanilla flavors with a hint of lemon in the cake are perfect and so delicious. This is hands down the best cake I’ve ever baked myself! The first two I used fresh peaches per the recipe and they were wonderful. The last time, though, my peaches were pithy! I scrambled through the kitchen and all I had were fuji apples. Worth a try but they got a bit rubbery. But that cake, oh my my! It doesn’t last a day in my home. This recipe is a keeper!

In reply to Margaret. Hi Margaret, it's great to read that whole wheat pastry flour works well here! I haven't tested it with that or with regular whole wheat flour. Now I may have to try the pastry flour! Thanks for reporting back.

In reply to Michelle @ Sally's Baking Recipes. I used 100% whole wheat pastry flour, which I always do for non-yeast recipes. It was fine.

In reply to Julia. Hi Julia, it can, yes, but the cake will taste a little heavy. We haven’t tested any changes to lighten up the texture, but let us know how it turns out.

Could I use whole wheat flour for this?

I followed the recipe strictly except almond extract. I didn’t have it at home, so instead i doubled vanilla extract. Super fresh, super delicious. Not too sweet – perfect amount of sugar for me. I added this to my favorites list. (Next time will try with almond extract – maybe even with amaretto?)
Thank you for this amazing recipe!

Very easy and good. I used a cast iron pan, and took it out about 5 minutes early and it was perfect. Next tIme I might try a little bourbon instead of almond extract and maybe add one more peach.
