Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Peach Mixture
In a bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the cake batter.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
4. Assemble the Cake
Pour half of the cake batter into a greased and floured 9-inch loaf pan. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it gently to cover the peaches.
5. Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If fresh peaches are not available, you can substitute with canned peaches, but be sure to drain them well.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add a Crumble Topping: For an extra touch, sprinkle a crumble topping made from flour, brown sugar, and butter over the batter before baking.
FAQ
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches. Thaw them completely and drain any excess liquid before using them in the recipe.
How should I store the cake?
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I make this cake in advance?
