Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preparation of Peaches: Start by peeling and slicing the fresh peaches. Toss the slices with a tablespoon of sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to enhance sweetness.
- Mixing the Batter: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.
- Assembling the Cake: Pour batter into a greased 9-inch round or square baking pan. Distribute peach slices evenly over the batter, pressing them in gently. Optional: sprinkle sugar over peaches for extra sweetness.
- Baking: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days, allowing it to come to room temperature before serving.
- For an extra treat, top with whipped cream or honey before serving.
