Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 3 cups |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |
| Granulated sugar | 2 cups |
| Unsalted butter, softened | 1 cup |
| Large eggs | 4 |
| Sour cream | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 2 teaspoons |
| Diced fresh or canned peaches | 2 cups (drain well if using canned) |
| Powdered sugar (for glaze) | 1 cup |
| Peach juice or milk (for glaze) | 2–3 tablespoons |
| Vanilla extract (for glaze) | ½ teaspoon |
| Fresh or canned peach slices (for topping) | 1 cup |
| Cinnamon sugar (optional) | 1 teaspoon |
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or loaf pan thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined. Gently fold in diced peaches without overmixing.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, peach juice or milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
- Finish by decorating with fresh peach slices and sprinkling with optional cinnamon sugar.
Tips & Storage
- Drain canned peaches thoroughly to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
- Use ripe, fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor.
- Pair this dessert with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 5 days.
- To freeze, wrap individual slices and store for up to 2 months.
