Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 20 min
Yield: 9 serving(s)
Ingredients: ¼ cup (60 ml) honey; 2 tbsp sugar; 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice; 5 peaches, unpeeled, halved and pitted; 1 ¼ cups (190 g) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1 tsp baking powder; ¼ tsp salt; 3 eggs, separated; 1 ¼ cups (265 g) sugar; ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted; 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract; ½ cup (125 ml) milk

Preparation

- With the rack in the lowest position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking dish.
Peaches
- Spread the honey, sugar and lemon juice at the bottom of the dish. Place 9 of the peach halves into the dish, side-by-side in three rows, cut side down. Set aside.
Cake
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add ¾ cup (160 g) of the sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a third bowl, cream the butter with the remaining sugar, the egg yolks and vanilla with an electric mixer. At low speed, add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk. Using a spatula, gently fold in the meringue.
- Spoon the batter over the peaches and bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes. Run a thin blade between the cake and the pan and unmould by inverting onto a plate. If desired, serve with vanilla ice cream. Delicious warm or cold.
