Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 3–4 fresh peaches, sliced
Cake Batter
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Toss Peaches with Sugar and Cinnamon: In a bowl, combine the sliced peaches with granulated sugar and cinnamon, gently tossing to coat the fruit evenly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help give the cake a tender crumb.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to ensure even incorporation, then stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring they are well combined to help the cake rise evenly.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cake.
- Fold in Peaches: Carefully fold the peach mixture into the batter, taking care not to overmix to keep the fruit pieces intact and distributed throughout the cake.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
Notes
- For best results, use ripe but firm peaches to maintain texture during baking.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen thawed peaches if fresh are not available.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
