  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk or milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the sliced peaches without breaking the fruit.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Optional: sprinkle additional brown sugar on top for caramelization.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for optimal sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar for desired sweetness based on fruit ripeness.
  • Do not overmix after adding wet and dry ingredients to keep the cake moist.
  • Experiment with toppings like nuts or caramel sauce for added flavor.
