Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

In a large bowl, blend the *softened butter* and *sugar* together until smooth. Add the *eggs* one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the *baking powder* and *flour* until the dough is well combined.

Step 2

Prepare the Baking Pan

Grease a baking pan (12x16 inches) with butter or line it with parchment paper. Evenly spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Add Peaches

Drain the *syrup* from the canned peaches. Set aside a few peaches for decoration and slice the rest thinly. Arrange the sliced peaches evenly over the batter.

Step 4

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to *320°F (160°C)*. Place the pan in the oven and bake for *20-25* minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5

Make the Cream Topping

While the cake is baking, combine the *sour cream* and *sugar* in a bowl. Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 6

Assemble the Cake

As soon as the cake is out of the oven, pour the *cream topping* evenly over the hot cake. Grate the *orange zest* over the top for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 7

Cool and Serve

Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating with the reserved peach slices. Slice into portions and enjoy your delightful creation.

Variations

Taking this Peach Cream Pie gluten-free or vegan? No problem! Let's explore some easy swaps and creative ideas to adapt this recipe to your dietary needs. For a **gluten-free** variation, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder is gluten-free, and you'll still achieve that perfect, flaky crust. 🌾🚫 Want to make it **vegan**? Use a **vegan butter** in place of regular butter. For the eggs, you can use flaxseed meal; mix 1 tablespoon with 3 tablespoons of water per egg and let it sit until it gets a gel-like texture. Also, look for a plant-based sour cream to maintain that rich filling. 🌱❤️ That's it! Enjoy a Pie that **everyone can relish** at your next gathering. 🍰🌿

Faq

  • Why doesn't my pastry rise properly?

    Ensure your baking powder is fresh and not expired, as old leavening agents won't have the needed potency. Also, make sure your butter is at room temperature before mixing.

  • Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?

    Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Make sure to peel and slice them thinly. They may add a bit more juice, so consider patting them dry with a paper towel before placing them on the dough.

  • How do I make the cake topping smoother?

    Mix the sour cream and sugar until all sugar crystals dissolve completely—this often takes a gentle, steady mix for a silken finish.

  • Can I make the crust crispier?

    For a crispier crust, bake the dough a little longer before adding the peaches while keeping an eye to prevent burning.

  • What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    Keep your pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness, and let it warm to room temperature slightly before serving.

  • Is it possible to enhance the citrus flavor?

    Certainly! Increase the amount of orange zest or add a splash of orange extract to your creamy topping for that extra citrus zing.
