Instructions
For the cake
-
Prepare all the ingredients.
-
Preheat the oven to 160 C. Prepare a 18 сm round cake pan and line the bottom with a baking paper. In a large bowl, whip the eggs with an electric mixer on high speed for about 10 minutes (you can use a hand egg beater as well). Add the vanilla, honey and melted butter into the bowl with the eggs and mix the batter until smooth.
-
In a bowl, sift together coconut flour and baking powder. Add the flour into the egg mixture and gently at very slow speed mix until a smooth batter forms and pour it into the prepared cake pan. Bake the cake in the middle of the oven at 160 C for 30 - 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Depending on the size and type of oven, the baking time can vary, so check periodically. You can check with a toothpick. Put the toothpick into the cake and if it comes out clean the cake is done.
For the garnish:
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool. When the cake is completely cool, cut it horizontally into two equal layers. In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime juice (you can use a fork or an egg beater). Spread less than half of the cream mixture over the one cake layer and top with sliced peaches, leave some for garnish. Place the second cake layer over the first one and frost the entire cake. Garnish with leftover peaches. Leave the cake in the fridge for few hours before serving.
