Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar
- 1 cup of fresh peaches, chopped or pureed
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Fresh peach slices and additional brown sugar for garnish (optional)
- For the frosting:
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional: a splash of peach liqueur for flavor enhancement
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the chopped or pureed peaches.
- Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk into the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Add a splash of peach liqueur if desired.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and garnish with fresh peach slices and a sprinkle of brown sugar if desired.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- For an extra burst of peach flavor, incorporate a small amount of peach liqueur into the frosting.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
- Decorate with fresh peach slices and extra brown sugar for a visually appealing presentation.
