  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. One at a time, beat in the eggs, then add vanilla extract, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
  5. Alternately add the dry mixture and sour cream to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake moist and tender.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Prepare the brown sugar frosting by melting butter, whisking in brown sugar, milk or cream, and powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Spread the frosting generously over the cooled cake. Slice and serve topped with fresh peach slices if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry mix.
  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
  • Thaw frozen cake in the refrigerator before serving for best taste and texture.
