Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease a 20cm springform or loose-bottomed cake tin and line the base with nonstick baking paper. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar over the base. Cut each peach slice in half lengthwise and arrange in a circle to cover the base of the cake tin; set aside.
  2. Pour the oil into a bowl and add the sugar; whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
  3. Sift over the flour and baking powder and add the ground almonds; fold in with a spatula. Pour into the tin, gently spreading the batter over the peaches.
  4. Level the top, then put the cake tin on a large baking tray. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm with a drizzle of the reserved peach juice, and ice cream, if you like. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
