Cake, for breakfast? Yes! The combination of peaches and cream screams decadent and rich, but not this breakfast cake! No one will ever know, but I’ve reduced the sugar and fat. This simple and quick one-bowl recipe is not quite as sweet as cake, but not as savory as a quick bread. You can keep it lean with the skyr topping or go more indulgent with whipped cream or even ice cream.

Ingredients
Directions
Special equipment:
a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan- Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the oil, eggs, almond extract, vanilla bean seeds and 1/2 cup of the skyr. Stir to combine. Fold in the diced peaches and 1/4 cup of the almonds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup almonds.
- Bake until the loaf is golden brown, begins to come away from the sides of the pan and a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and let cool, right-side up, to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, combine the peach jelly and remaining 1/2 cup skyr in a small bowl, leaving a few streaks of jelly. Set aside.
- Slice the cooled cake with a serrated knife. Top with a dollop of the prepared skyr and garnish with sliced peaches and mint sprigs. The Peaches and Cream Breakfast Cake keeps for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
