Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
• 2 medium eggs
• 2 peaches, pitted and thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup melted butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk together flour and baking powder in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.

Step 3

Stir together brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, and amaretto liqueur in a 9-inch pie plate until sugar has dissolved. Arrange peach slices in the plate and sprinkle with pecans; set aside.

Step 4

Beat together white sugar and 1/4 cup butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 egg until incorporated, then beat in remaining egg along with almond extract. Pour in flour mixture alternately with milk, mixing until just incorporated. Gently pour over peaches and pecans.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and cake is golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pie plate for 10 minutes, then run a knife along the edges and invert onto a serving plate to cool.
