Ingredients
– 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Start by washing and slicing fresh peaches. Set aside for layering in the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with vanilla extract and melted butter. Gradually add the buttermilk, whisking until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently to combine without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan. Arrange the sliced peaches evenly on top, pressing lightly into the batter.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Optional: sprinkle with cinnamon or drizzle with honey for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly ripened peaches for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preferred sweetness.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender and fluffy.
- Enhance the presentation with chopped nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar.
