Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 medium ripe peaches
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch springform pan, then set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand/stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to form a smooth batter.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Peel and pit the ripe peaches, then slice them into thin wedges. Toss the peach slices in a small bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 8

Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the peaches.

Step 9

Bake the torte in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the torte comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife along the edges, then release the springform ring.

Step 11

Let the torte cool completely before dusting the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
