Italian Peach Cake Recipe

"Gooey and GOOD!"




peach cake recipe This peach cake recipe is one of those quick Italian cakes where you can leave the skins on! Yes! I like quick and easy. And an added bonus - amaretto is used to flavor! (Amaretto is an Italian liqueur found in almost EVERY liquor store). But you can skip it if you want - see how in the substitution section below.

Between the brown sugar, butter, natural peach juices, and amaretto - this is heavenly gooey goodness! Kinda like a peach upside down cake with and Italian twist!

If this wasn't the type of peach recipe you were looking for see my peach dessert recipes or scroll below and see the list of Italian cakes on my site.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy a little sugar every day!

Looking for peach recipes?



Can I substitute the amaretto and just use almond flavoring?



Yup - Swap out 1 1/2 teaspoons of almond extract.

Do I have to use a springform pan?



Nope, but your life will be easier. One other consideration, I think this recipe is much like an upside down cake. So you could try a cast iron skillet and then flip the cake out 10 minutes after baking.

What type of peaches work best?



Any type. Just go for slightly firm.

Do I have to use butter?

Always ! Please don't ruin ANY beautiful Italian dessert recipe with shortening UNLESS it is specifically called for. Our background and upbringing trained us to use the fresh ingredients the good Lord gave us. He made cows first. Factories that make fake fat products derived from chemist came later.

Lisa Gianotti Superbowl Sunday is coming up! The best Italian Dessert Recipes for a party like this are ones that are:

FAST

Finger Foodish (not big hunky sticky globs of gooey-ness that get on your furniture)

And freeze-aheads

A couple of my favs for this are Cappucino Cookies (lots like choc chips but with a twist)

Anisette Cookies (Always on the top 5)
