Peach And Plum Cake Food

PEACH AND PLUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
• Beat 1 cup sugar and 1 stick butter together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Add yogurt and vanilla extract; mix until batter is smooth. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the batter and mix until just combined. Combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a separate bowl.
• Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle with 1/2 of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top batter with plums and peaches; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour, making sure not to overbake. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PEACH-PLUM GALETTE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter until it is in pea-size pieces. Mix the sour cream with 3 tablespoons ice water, then stir into the flour mixture with a fork. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, press into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Make the filling: Toss the peaches and plums with the granulated sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Arrange the fruit over the dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold in the edge of the dough, pleating as needed.
• Bake the galette: Brush the edge of the dough with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake until golden and bubbling, 45 to 50 minutes.

PEACH-PLUM GALETTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine cornstarch, lime zest, salt, and 1/3 cup sugar in a medium bowl. Toss with your hands to combine, then add fruit and toss to coat. Add lime juice, vanilla, and ginger (if using); toss gently.
• Arrange fruit mixture in the center of chilled dough (still on parchment on baking sheet) and spread out evenly, leaving a 3" border. Fold edges of dough up and over fruit, pleating as needed and being careful that folded edge of dough doesn't tear (if it does, patch with dough scraps and pinch to seal). Pour cream into a small bowl and brush all over dough. Sprinkle sugar evenly over dough.
• Place galette in oven and immediately reduce heat to 375°F. Bake, rotating halfway through, until crust is deep golden brown everywhere, fruit is softened, and juices are bubbling, 45-50 minutes. Let galette cool 2 hours before serving.
• Serve galette with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

PEACH BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• With a hand mixer on high speed or stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy. It should look like whipped cream in texture and color. As you're beating, scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all of the butter is incorporated.
• Add the eggs one at a time while continuing to beat on high (see Cook's Note). Add the vanilla and beat the mixture on high speed for another 4 to 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as you beat.
• In a medium bowl, toss the peaches with 1/4 cup of the flour, coating the fruit. Add the peach-and-flour mixture to your mixing bowl and beat on high until the peaches are incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 3/4 cups flour with the salt and baking powder.
• Turn the hand mixer down to a low speed. Add about half of the dry ingredients, taking care to scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all of the ingredients are well blended. Add the buttermilk and continue to mix. Finish by adding the rest of the dry ingredients and incorporating it into the batter.
• Spray a nonstick Bundt pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Pour in the cake batter and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. A toothpick or knife inserted into the cake center should come out dry. If it's wet, let the cake bake a few more minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for 15 minutes. Flip it onto a plate to serve.

PEACH-AND-PLUM PIE

• In large bowl, combine peaches, plums, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch and zest; mix well.

• Layer with remaining phyllo, one sheet at a time, and butter and sugar, turning 2 1/2 inch from each previous sheet to created overlapping circle.
• Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan, pressing to fit into pan and allowing edges of phyllo to overhang edge of pan.
• Sprinkle amaretti crumbs over bottom of crust.
• Top with fruit mixture.
• Bring overhanging phyllo up and over fruit to make ruffled border.
• Bake on baking sheet 1 hour, 15 minutes or until bubbly and golden, covering with foil after 30 minutes.
