So after living in Germany for over half a decade, one of the dishes that kept popping up and over was pfirsichkuchen , which is a German peach ‘cake’, which is semi-bready and cooked with fresh peaches on top. This dish ubiquitous at holiday gatherings, and often served during someone’s birthday. Like most German desserts, it isn’t inherently sweet, but rather relies on the natural sweetness of the peaches.

Being that I grew up in the South, my version came out as a hybrid peach cake, which is a cross between pfirsichkuchen and traditional American peach cobbler. The result of this cross pollination was a success and it was enjoyed by all who tried it. 

Ingredients:
6 ripe peaches
1/3 cup [70 grams] sugar
1 shake of salt
Spices of your choice

Batter:
1.5 cups [350 mL] of milk
1.5 cups [350 mL] of flour

1 stick [115 grams] of butter for the pan
