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
- 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.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- One at a time, beat in the eggs, then add vanilla extract, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- Alternately add the dry mixture and sour cream to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped peaches, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake moist and tender.
- 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.
- Prepare the brown sugar frosting by melting butter, whisking in brown sugar, milk or cream, and powdered sugar until smooth.
- 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.
