- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 pieces eggs
- 1 cups milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 cups fresh or canned peaches, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream or cream cheese (for frosting)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
Gently fold in the sliced peaches.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.
Bake for 30-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
Once cooled, frost with heavy cream or cream cheese frosting.
This cake can be made with either fresh or canned peaches; just make sure to drain canned peaches well to avoid excess moisture. The flavor of the cake improves after a day, making it great for make-ahead desserts. Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for some of the butter for a healthier option. Consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique twist to the flavor profile. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days for the best freshness.
