Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups +1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup whipping cream, divided
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, divided
  • 2 cups grated zucchini (unpeeled)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2-3 large peaches, sliced (unpeeled)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 teaspoon peach liqueur

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray the sides of a nonstick Bundt pan with cooking spray. Put flour, cinnamon, allspice, salt and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk together completely. Combine eggs, 2 cups sugar, oil, 1/2 cup cream and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a large bowl. Add zucchini and mix well. Add wet mixture to flour mixture and stir just until blended.
  • Pour melted butter into the Bundt pan. Layer brown sugar evenly over butter. Toss the peach slices with remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice and arrange over brown sugar. Sprinkle with pecans. Pour the zucchini batter into the pan over the pecans.
  • Bake in 350°F oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • In the meantime, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of whipping cream in a chilled bowl till soft peaks form. Add remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar and peach liqueur, and continue to whip until firm peaks form.
  • Loosen sides of the cake with a nylon spatula. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down over the pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over the cake a few minutes so that all the gooey topping falls onto the cake. Then remove the pan to reveal your masterpiece! Serve warm with the whipped cream. Store cake loosely covered.
