Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Line your cake pan with parchment paper and generously butter it. Arrange the peach wedges on top and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • In a saucepan, combine water and sugar to create caramel. Cook over medium-high heat until light golden brown.
  • Stir in bourbon to the caramel and pour evenly over the peaches.
  • Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla and bourbon.
  • Combine flour, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in another bowl. Mix into the wet ingredients.
  • Pour the cake batter over the peaches and smooth the surface.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 15-30 minutes before inverting onto a plate.
