Once the dough cycle is complete, lightly grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray.

Layer the sliced peaches evenly over the surface of the rolled-out dough, ensuring even coverage.

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and softened butter. Mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in the caster sugar and ground cinnamon until well combined.
7
Sprinkle this streusel topping generously over the peaches, creating a delicious layer.

Cover the pan loosely with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm area for approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) while the dough is rising.

After rising, bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
