Description
This lovely Summer Peach Cake, or snacking cake as I like to call it is perfect for breakfast, brunch or simply a snack. It won't last long in your house! I love the nutty flavor if using hazelnut or almond flour but it can also be made simply with all-purpose flour.

Instructions
Cake
- Preheat your oven to 375F. Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray and then line with a sheet of parchment paper. This will allow the cake to be removed easily from the pan and keep fruit and topping in tact.

2 eggs, 1/4 cup sugar 50g, 1/2 cup brown sugar 100g, 2 teaspoons whiskey/vanilla, 1/3 cup olive oil 65g, zest of lemon, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 3/4 cup yogurt 190g - Add your flour (and nut flour if using), baking soda, baking powder, ground anise and salt. Fold into your wet mixture until JUST combined.

1 1/2 cups flour 180 grams + 1/2 cup 50g of nut flour
1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground anise, 1 teaspoon kosher salt - Pour batter into prepared baking pan.
Crumb Topping
- In a small bowl, add your softened butter, flour and brown sugar.
- Work with a fork or hands to create small pea-sized crumbles.
- Place crumb topping on top of cake and finally layer slices of peaches or cherries
Bake

Notes
All-Purpose Flour vs Combination with Nut Flour
- ALL All-Purpose Flour Method:
- Use 2 cups or 240 grams of flour
- All-Purpose Flour + Hazelnut Flour:
- Use 1 1/2 cups or 180 grams of flour and
- 1/2 cup or 50 grams of hazelnut flour
- If using salt other than kosher salt, half the amount
