Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour this forms the cake's sturdy base, giving it that wonderful texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the cake rise beautifully for a fluffy finish.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda ensures a light and tender crumb.
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt enhances the overall flavor for a balanced taste.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened adds richness and moisture; be sure it's soft for easy blending.
  • 1 cups granulated sugar brings sweetness and a lovely golden color as it bakes.
  • 2 large eggs bind the ingredients together; room temperature eggs work best!
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract infuses a delightful aroma and flavor into the cake.
  • 0.5 cups buttermilk ensures the cake is moist and adds a subtle tanginess.

For the Peaches

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Peach Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, then alternately mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the chopped peaches with flour to prevent sinking.
  • Gently fold the floured peaches into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  • Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Notes

For best flavor, use ripe peaches. This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature.
