Peach and Tomato Buckle
Peach and Tomato Buckle
This unique summer cake is both sweet and a touch savory, with lots of pleasant crunch thanks to an almond streusel.

- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 cups unpeeled firm-ripe fresh peach slices (about 3 medium peaches)

- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon grated Meyer lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 2 1/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (about 10 ounces), sifted

Direction
- Stir together almonds, oats, flour, butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl until evenly moistened. Refrigerate until mixture firms up, at least 30 minutes or until ready to use. Crumble oat mixture using your hands into a mix of blueberry- and pea-size crumbs.
- Stir together peaches, tomatoes, liqueur, lemon zest and juice, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with baking spray; set aside. Beat eggs, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until mixture triples in volume and is pale and fluffy, 15 to 20 minutes. Add lemon zest, baking powder, and nutmeg; beat until combined, about 30 seconds. Slowly add oil, beating until emulsified, about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Reduce mixer speed to medium-low, and slowly add milk, beating until combined, about 30 seconds. Gradually add flour, and beat until just combined, about 45 seconds. Do not overbeat.
- Pour three-fourths of the batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Spoon fruit compote in an even layer over batter. Spread remaining batter over compote. Sprinkle evenly with streusel.
- Bake buckle in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean and streusel is golden brown, 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
