Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk or buttermilk

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Peaches: Peel and slice fresh, ripe peaches to ensure juiciness and natural sweetness. Set aside while preparing the batter.
  2. Cream Butter and Brown Sugar: Beat softened butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a tender crumb.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and optional cinnamon or nutmeg to evenly distribute leavening agents and spices.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet batter, alternating with milk or buttermilk, keeping the batter smooth and moist.
  6. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in sliced peaches, taking care not to crush them to maintain their juiciness throughout the cake.
  7. Bake and Cool: Pour batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for best flavor and juiciness.
  • Measure ingredients precisely, especially flour and sugar, for optimal texture.
  • Do not overmix batter; fold gently to avoid a dense cake.
  • Grease the pan well with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
  • Start checking for doneness 5-10 minutes before baking time ends, as ovens vary.
  • Allow cake to cool before slicing to prevent crumbling.
