Just dropping in to share something that looks absolutely delicious to make for the weekend…
my mouth is salivating just looking at it.
Peaches + Cake.
Hello perfection.

If you’re ever looking for an easy, delicious, pretty, light & fluffy dessert, I hope you’ll try this! I’ve been wanting to teach myself how to make pastries, but somehow this is what I came up with instead… I got the juiciest peaches at the farmer’s market and those married perfectly to the fluffy whipped cream and the gooey honey almonds. Heaven.
For the Almond filling: Combine the sliced raw almonds, raw walnuts, almond extract, & a good squeeze of honey in a food processor or blender until the nuts are in small pieces and sticking together with the honey. Taste; add more honey to your liking for sweetness and consistency.
For the Whip Cream: Beat the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, & sugar on high until stiff peaks form.
Using a bowl & knife, cut the pastry dough into 3 circles; bake according to package. Once they have cooled, spread 1/3 of the honey almond mixture on the first pastry layer. Next spread 1/3 of the whipped cream. Add another pastry layer, continue with the honey almond & whipped cream. Spread the remaining whipped cream on the last pastry layer, the remaining nuts in the middle and peach {or your seasonal fruit} slices around the edges.
Peach slices in each layer would also be delicious. Enjoy!
