Description
A tender crumb cake bursting with juicy peaches, perfect for summer gatherings or enjoying on a sunny afternoon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup canned peaches, drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons peach juice (from canned peaches)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk them together to mix well.
- Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully mixed in before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Fold the sour cream into the batter until it is well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two parts with the mixer on low speed. Mix just until there are no streaks of flour.
- Carefully fold the drained and chopped peaches into the batter using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges and invert the cake onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and peach juice until it’s smooth and pourable. Drizzle this glaze over the cooled cake.
