    6 lg Eggs; room temp
    +=PLUS=+
    1 Egg white; room temp
    1/2 ts Almond extract
    1/2 ts Fine sea salt
    1 1/4 c (250 g) granulated sugar
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    Sliced peaches; for serving
    Whipped creme fraîche or
    - whipped cream; for serving

    Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.

    Butter and lightly flour a 9" or 10" springform pan.

    Place almond flour and confectioners’ sugar in a food
    processor and pulse to combine. Add egg white, almond
    extract and ¼ teaspoon salt, and process until it all
    forms a paste.

    Add granulated sugar to the food processor and pulse
    until everything is well combined and crumbly. Add
    butter and vanilla, and continue processing until light
    and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the machine running,
    add eggs one at a time, processing until smooth between
    eggs.

    Stop the machine, scrape down the sides with a rubber
    spatula, and add flour, baking powder and remaining ¼
    teaspoon salt. Pulse a few times, until the dry
    ingredients are just integrated. (Be careful not to
    overprocess.)

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the
    cake is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the
    center comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes for a
    10-inch pan and 70 to 80 minutes for a 9-inch pan.
    Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cake cool
    completely before unmolding and serving.

    Put the peach slices in a bowl and taste a slice. If
    they seem tart, sprinkle peaches with a little
    confectioners’ sugar.

    Just before serving, dust the top of the cake with
    confectioners’ sugar. You can serve slices of the cake
    with the peaches and cream on the side or dollop some
    whipped cream on top of the cake and top with the
    peaches before cutting.
