Shortcrust cake with peaches and almonds – notes
I’m taking advantage of the season for delicious juicy peaches and baking various cakes with them. Today, I opted for this appetizing shortcrust tart filled with almond frangipane cream and peach slices. The cake tastes excellent right after baking and slight cooling – then I recommend it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. The cake stores very well and is just as tasty after a few days. The tart will be perfect as a dessert with coffee, but also for special occasions, or a garden barbecue. Be sure to try it and let me know in the comments under the recipe how you liked it!
What ingredients are essential for baking an almond tart?
To prepare this tart, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- butter – you will need butter for both the pastry and the almond filling – a total of 280 g, so roughly 1.5 blocks of 200 g butter. I recommend extra butter with about 82% fat content – especially for the cream. For the shortcrust pastry, it can optionally be a mix or vegetable butter, but with traditional butter, the pastry will be tastier.
- almonds – for the almond cream, you will need 100 g of ground almonds; I had ground almonds with skin, which is why the cream is slightly darker. If you use blanched almonds, the cream will have a nice light color.
- peaches – I used flat peaches, you can use regular peaches – you don’t need to peel them. Out of season, canned peaches will also work.
How to make the perfect shortcrust pastry for a tart – tips
I like to make shortcrust pastry with slightly softened butter. This makes combining the ingredients into a smooth and perfect dough very quick. Additionally, such dough is easier to roll out and line the pan with. After lining the pan with the dough, I put it in the fridge for at least an hour so that the dough chills properly. This will ensure that the tart crust bakes nicely and doesn’t shrink during baking.
Dough strips for the lattice on top are also easier to handle when the dough is slightly warmed and more elastic. Then it tears less into pieces, and it’s easier to arrange a nice lattice on top of the cake.
How many calories does an almond tart with peaches have?
In the table below the recipe, I provided the calorie count for 100 g of the tart. If you divide the cake into 12 roughly equal portions, each piece will have slightly more calories – specifically – 367 kcal (carbohydrates – 40 g, proteins – 8 g, fat – 19 g). Considering the use of butter and almonds, which are high-calorie ingredients, this is still a very friendly calorie count ;) All the more reason I see no contraindications to baking this peach cake :)
How to store a peach tart?
If you don’t eat the tart on the first day, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator. Then, before serving, take it out of the fridge half an hour earlier so that the cake warms up. It’s good to cover the cake on the counter with a cake dome or lid so that it doesn’t dry out.
