Let’s Make the Whole Wheat Peach Cake Together
In a bowl, combine the eggs with the honey and whisk until a frothy mixture is obtained. Then add the liquids, which are water and oil, and mix again.
At this point, add the whole wheat flour and the baking powder and mix again until you get a smooth batter. Set the bowl aside and let’s move on to the peaches.
After washing them, cut the peaches into irregular pieces, remembering to set some aside for the final decoration. I used nectarines, so I didn’t peel them.
Take the batter and pour in the peach pieces, then mix with a spatula until all the fruit is well incorporated.
Take the pan and line it with parchment paper, or grease and flour it, then pour in the batter. Slice the reserved peach piece and decorate the cake.
Bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 338°F for 40 minutes. Before removing from the oven, do the toothpick test by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out dry and clean, our cake is ready. Otherwise, leave it in the oven for another 5 minutes.
A Curl Recommends
The whole wheat peach cake with no added sugar is a moist cake, so I recommend storing it in the fridge for a couple of days. If you want it taller, use a slightly smaller pan and extend the baking time by 5 minutes.
