Drain the peaches. Carve several times with a knife. Beat the fat, sugar and salt until foamy. Stir in eggs and milk one after the other. Mix flour and baking powder and stir into the dough.
Spread the dough on a greased pan of the oven lined with baking paper and smooth it down. Press the peach halves into the dough side by side. Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for 45 minutes.
Let it cool down on a kitchen grid. Warm up the apricot jam, pass through a sieve and spread the cake with it. Lightly roast the almonds in a pan without fat. Sprinkle over the cake and dust with icing sugar.
Cut into pieces and arrange on a cake plate. Whip the cream until stiff, fill into a piping bag with a star-shaped spout and squirt onto a few cake pieces as dots. Makes 25 pieces.
