Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the cake:
3/4 cup softened unsalted butter plus more for greasing the pans
1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 pounds ripe peaches
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Raspberry Melba Sauce

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms with wax paper and butter the paper; dust the pans with flour.
  • 2. Cream the 3/4 cup butter and sugars in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, lemon zest, and juice.
  • 3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; add to mixture in the bowl, alternating with buttermilk, to make batter.
  • 4. Scrape batter into the pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cool the cakes in their pans on a rack for 15 minutes, then turn them out onto the rack, peel off wax paper, and cool completely.
  • 5. Shortly before serving, peel, pit, and slice the peaches. Toss with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar; set aside for 15 minutes.
  • 6. Whip the cream with the vanilla and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar until it holds soft peaks.
  • 7. Place one cake on a serving platter; spread with half the cream, then half the peaches. Cover with second cake, spread with most of the remaining cream and top with remaining peaches. Top with a dollop of cream and, if desired, a mint sprig. Serve immediately, with the Raspberry Melba Sauce on the side or drizzled over the cake.

This cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I think I'll try adding some extra moisture to the cake batter next time.

The cake was delicious, but I had some trouble with the frosting. It was a bit too runny and didn't hold its shape well. I think I might try a different frosting recipe next time.
