Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 12 inch round pan with baking spray or grease with butter.
    * I used one of our fluted nonstick pans HERE
  2. In a mixing bowl combine the sugar eggs and almond extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale yellow and fluffy. About 5 minutes.
  3. Beat in the mascarpone on low speed until smooth.
  4. Add in the dry ingredients until just absorbed. Do not over mix.
  5. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, fold in the chopped peaches.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and using a teaspoon, dollop the peach jam all over the cake.
  7. Arrange the peach slices around the edge of the cake leaving a 1 inch border.
  8. Top with the crushed amaretti cookies. To easily crush them, place them in a zipper top plastic bag and crush them with a glass or a jar.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
