  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: powdered sugar or whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by washing and slicing the fresh peaches. For a more intense peach flavor, consider gently tossing the slices in a little sugar or lemon juice. Set aside as you prepare the cake batter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This ensures the leavening is evenly distributed for a fluffy cake.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is essential for achieving a tender, moist cake texture that complements the juicy peaches.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the ingredients and create a smooth, cohesive batter.
  5. Alternately add the dry mixture and milk to the wet batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined — do not overmix, to keep the cake light and airy.
  6. Pour half of the batter into a greased cake pan. Spread half of the sliced peaches evenly over the batter. Cover with the remaining batter and top with the rest of the peaches. Gently press the peaches into the batter to embed the fruit.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly before removing it from the pan.

Notes

This easy recipe makes a beautiful fresh peach dessert that’s best enjoyed within 2 days. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving for optimal softness and flavor. For an extra indulgence, top slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
