    Why use wholewheat flour to make the peach cake

    Whole wheat flour adds more nutrition, as well as nutty and simply tasty flavor. You can use either whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour – both aren’t bleached or refined.

    Whole wheat flour offers all of the whole grain benefits, such as its bran, germ, and endosperm. The bran is the fiber-rich outer layer that supplies B vitamins, iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, and antioxidants.

    I find wholewheat flour to be an excellent ingredient to use in whole grain baking, aside from its health benefits.

    What kind of pan to use for this peach cake

    Use 9 inch springform pan so that you can easily release the cake when it’s done.

    I also used brown sugar here instead of refined white sugar and 2% milk fat Greek yoghurt. You will enjoy this wholewheat flour peach cake with a hot cup of coffee or tea and not feel bad about actually having a cake!

    If you like to snack during the day, this can be your perfect go to snack that has fruit, fiber and vitamins all in one tasty dessert!

    You can refrigerate this cake for up to 1 week.

    The first step is to prepare batter by mixing dry ingredients of wholewheat flour, baking powder, baking soda into the liquid ingredients of eggs, greek yogurt (make sure to use 2% milk fat one), brown sugar and vanilla.

    Very easy and straight forward ingredients! Now add batter to the bottom of 9 inch spring form pan:

    The next step is my favorite – adding those pretty peaches on top. It’s very easy to do! Just make sure to slice peaches thinly – that’s all there is to it.

    Ingredients

    Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups wholewheat flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda

    Liquid Ingredients

    • 6 tablespoon butter, (softened)
    • 1 cup brown sugar + 1 tablespoon, (for peach on top)
    • 2 eggs
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla
    • ⅔ cup 2% milk fat Greek yogurt

    Topping

    • 2 large peaches, (sliced into wedges)
    • 2 teaspoon powdered sugar, (for decoration)

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Grease the side and the bottom of the springform pan with butter or cooking spray.
    • DRY INGREDIENTS: Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl.
    • LIQUID INGREDIENTS: In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 2 eggs until very light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, for about 1 more minute.
    • Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the DRY INGREDIENTS into LIQUID INGREDIENTS until combined. Do not overmix.
    • Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Top with sliced peaches. Sprinkle the fruit with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
    • Bake until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the center, about 1 hour, depending on your oven.
    • When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack for 15 minutes. After cake has cooled for about 40 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan. 
    • Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top.
