Ingredients
-
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 3 medium peaches)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/4 cup milk
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)
-
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
-
Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
-
Sprinkle the top with granulated sugar for a sweet, slightly crunchy finish.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
-
You can use canned peaches in syrup, but fresh peaches are preferred for the best texture and flavor.
-
If you prefer a more intense peach flavor, feel free to add more peaches, or even make a peach compote to serve on top.
-
This cake pairs beautifully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
