BALTIMORE PEACH CAKE



Baltimore Peach Cake image

I've never been to Baltimore, so I can't comment on the current state of affairs, but what I can tell you is that this easy to make, yeast-based cake really is amazing. They say this recipe was brought to Baltimore by German immigrants, who apparently used to top it with caramelized onions. I don't know about onions, but any ripe, sweet fruit should work in this. Serve with ice cream if desired.

Time 2h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup white sugar
1 package active dry yeast
1 ¼ cups warm milk (no hotter than 100 degrees F (38 degrees C))
¼ cup melted butter
1 large egg, beaten
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
3 tablespoons butter, divided
3 ½ ripe peaches
⅓ cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and yeast in a bowl. Pour in milk, butter, and egg. Whisk together until sugar is dissolved. Stir in flour, a portion at a time, until mostly moistened, adding more if dough is too wet. Add salt and stir until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together.
  • Cover dough with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Split peaches in half along the seam and slice halves into quarters, then eighths.
  • Transfer dough into the buttered baking dish. Use a spatula to spread dough out to the corners of the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise once more until roughly doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Arrange peach slices onto the dough, pressing them in lightly. Drizzle remaining butter on top. Sprinkle Demerara sugar over peaches.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake, not through a peach, comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Heat apricot preserves up with a splash of water and brush glaze over the top of the cake. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.

BALTIMORE PEACH CAKE

This subtly sweet yeasted cake topped with fresh peaches is a Baltimore staple. Martha made this recipe on episode 702 of Martha Bakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
One 1/4-ounce envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature, plus more for bowl and pan
3 large peaches, pitted and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/4 cup sanding sugar
2 tablespoons red currant, apricot, or peach jelly

Steps:

  • Combine 1 teaspoon sugar and milk in a glass measuring cup. Sprinkle yeast over milk and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add egg and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Place bowl on mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add milk mixture to flour mixture and beat to combine. Knead dough for 5 minutes. Add butter, piece by piece, and continue to knead until dough is smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and remove from bowl. Pat dough into a buttered 13-by-9 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange peaches on dough in a slightly overlapping pattern and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden brown and set in the center, 40 to 45 minutes. Brush peaches with jelly. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches. This will ensure your cake has the best flavor.
  • Peel and slice the peaches thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned peach cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
