Ingredients

Here are the ingredients to make this gluten free peach dessert:

ground flax seeds + water, this is used as an egg replacer and will make the cake softer
brown rice flour, this is one of my favorite flours to use, but you can replace with quinoa flour too for instance, if you like its taste
gluten free starch, I used tapioca, but potato, corn, rice starches work aswell
brown sugar, can be replaced with other sweetener of your liking
baking powder, or a mix of baking soda and cream of tartar, as I do
light vegetable oil, I usually use sunflower seed oil, coconut oil is great too
gluten free plant based milk, like soy, rice or nut milks
fresh peaches
lemon juice to season the peaches before adding them to the batter

Instructions

Here's how to make this gluten free peach cake in few simple steps:

in a small bowl mix the ground flax seeds with water and let rest a momenti
slice a couple peaches into small pieces, dress them with two tablespoons lemon juice (and sugar if you like) and put aside
in a mixing bowl add flour, starch, sugar, baking powder and mix well
add milk and oil and mix well

incorporate the flax mix into the batter
add the seasoned peaches (it's best if you don't add the lemon/sugar juice)
pour the batter in a greased pan, decorate with sliced peaches and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean

Let it cool down completely before removing from pan and enjoy! Serve with some vanilla ice cream to make an even more delicious dessert 😉

Tips and substitutions

Can I skip flax seeds?

Yes you can, the flax "gel" helps make the cake softer, but if for any reason you can't or don't want to use it, the cake will still come out great

Can I replace the brown rice flour?

Yes, you can. You can use quinoa , amaranth or oat flour, for instance.

Can I make this gluten free peach cake using canned peaches?

You sure can! Drain the liquid and only use the peach wedges.
