Ingredients 

Peach Cake:

  • 2 cups diced peaches about 2 large peaches diced, pits removed
  • ¾ cup oat milk or soy milk
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • cup olive oil or melted vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoons salt reduce to ½ teaspoon if using melted butter
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda

Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

  • ¼ cup cane sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides. Set aside.

Make the peach cake:

  • Start by dicing the fresh peaches. Then, set aside.
  • Add the oat milk and apple cider vinegar to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to curdle and create the “vegan buttermilk”.
  • Next, add the sugar, olive oil, and vanilla to the bowl and whisk together. Then, add in the dry ingredients, starting with the all-purpose flour, and then add the cornstarch, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and baking soda on top.
  • Mix into a thick batter. Then, add in the peaches and use a spatula to fold them into the batter.

Bake the cake:

  • Pour the peach cake batter into the parchment-lined pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Then, sprinkle it over the top of the cake.
  • Add the cake to the oven and bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Slice & enjoy!

  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully move to a wire rack to finish cooling completely before frosting.
  • Once cooled, slice into 8 slices. Serve & enjoy!
