Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
How to Make Peach Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, reserving a few pieces for topping if desired.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, layer the cakes with additional fresh peach slices if you like, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with the sugar.
- Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the cake light and fluffy.
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
Easy Variations
- Substitute peaches with other seasonal fruits like apricots, plums, or berries.
- Add a layer of whipped cream between the cake layers for extra indulgence.
- For a nutty twist, fold in ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A dollop of yogurt for a tangy complement.
- A cup of tea or coffee for a cozy pairing.
