Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to **170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit)**. While the oven is heating up, take the peaches and remove the pits. Slice the peaches into thin slices, making sure to keep them uniform for even distribution in the batter.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, beat the **3 eggs** with **200 grams (1 cup)** of sugar until you achieve a light and fluffy mixture. Ensure that the sugar is fully dissolved. Next, gently fold in **140 grams (1.5 cups)** of all-purpose flour using a spatula, employing a bottom-up motion to maintain the airiness of the batter.
After the flour is incorporated, add the **sliced peaches** into the batter and carefully mix until they are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Take a baking pan and **grease it with butter** to prevent the cake from sticking. Dust a small amount of flour over the buttered surface to ensure it is beautifully coated. Pour the peach batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle some brown sugar over the top of the batter before baking.
Step 4
Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately **1 hour**, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and dry. This indicates that the cake is cooked through.
Once done, allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the pan. Serve it warm, or at room temperature, perfect for any occasion!
Servings
For an elegant presentation, garnish with fresh mint leaves to create a beautiful color contrast. 🥭🌱Don't forget to slice it on a pretty plate - it's a feast for the eyes too! 🥳 You can also pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperatures! 🍧 This dessert is perfect for summer picnics, birthday parties, or just a sweet treat after dinner with loved ones. ☀️💖
Equipment
Use medium-sized mixing bowls for whipping your eggs and sugar together. A larger bowl will help you incorporate everything easily.
A whisk will give you a good workout, but an electric mixer ensures that your egg mixture is fluffy and properly aerated.
Your baking dish should be well-greased to prevent sticking. A round cake pan works perfectly for this Peach Charlotte!



A silicone or flat spatula is essential for folding the flour into the egg mixture without losing air. This is key to a light dessert!



Variations
Vegan Peach Charlotte: Replace eggs with flaxseed meal and water (2 tablespoons of flaxseed mixed with 6 tablespoons of water). Use a plant-based butter alternative for greasing the dish, and ensure your sugar is vegan-friendly as well. Enjoy this lovely peach dessert without any animal products! 🍑🌱
