A bit of history
Fruit desserts have a long-standing tradition, being prepared since ancient times to celebrate bountiful harvests. Peaches, with their sweet and juicy flavor, are often used in seasonal desserts, and adding cinnamon gives them a warm and comforting note, perfect for cool evenings.

Ingredients
For the base:
- 4 eggs
- 80 g Green Sugar (or sugar, if preferred)
- 1 cup oil (240 ml)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 packet baking powder
- 300 g flour
- a pinch of salt
- 70 g milk chocolate and hazelnuts

For the filling:
- 3 large peaches
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Green Sugar

Practical tips about ingredients
- Eggs: Ensure they are at room temperature for a homogeneous mixture.
- Oil: You can use sunflower oil or olive oil, depending on your preference.
- Chocolate: Use quality chocolate to add extra flavor to the cake. If you want a lower-calorie option, opt for sugar-reduced chocolate.
- Peaches: Choose ripe, sweet, and juicy peaches for a delicious dessert.

Step-by-step preparation
1. In a large bowl, start mixing the whole eggs with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer. Mix until the eggs become light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add Green Sugar (or sugar) and continue mixing for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is fluffy and homogeneous.
3. Gradually add the oil and milk, mixing after each addition to integrate the ingredients.
4. In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder. Then, incorporate the flour mixture into the liquid composition using a spatula. Gently mix to avoid losing air from the mixture.
5. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and add it to the mixture, stirring gently with the spatula.
6. Prepare a 22/35 cm baking pan, lining it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture evenly into the pan.
7. Wash the peaches, slice them thinly, and arrange them on top of the mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon and Green Sugar over the peaches for a sweet aromatic flavor.
8. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Bake the cake for 30 minutes, then let it cool for 5 minutes with the oven door open.
9. Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a rack. After cooling, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant appearance.
10. Cut the cake into slices and serve it with a cup of coffee or cappuccino. This combination will add extra delight to the tasting experience.

Serving suggestions
This cake can be enjoyed both as a dessert and as a breakfast snack. You can add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top for a creamier taste. It is also delicious alongside vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.

Possible variations
If you want to experiment, you can replace the peaches with other seasonal fruits such as apples, plums, or nectarines. You can also add chopped nuts or almonds for additional crunch.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use another type of sweetener instead of Green Sugar?
Yes, you can use any sweetener you prefer, but check the usage equivalences, as some may be more concentrated than regular sugar.
- How long does the cake last?
The cake keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can freeze it for longer storage.

Nutritional benefits
This cake has a lower calorie content due to the use of Green Sugar, a natural sweetener that has a reduced impact on blood sugar levels. Additionally, peaches are rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and fiber, contributing to a balanced diet.
