This Irresistible Summer Peach Cake is a soft, moist dessert filled with juicy peaches, perfect for summer gatherings or a cozy treat at home.
Ingredients
- 3–4 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or 8×8 square baking dish.
- Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in half of the sliced peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the remaining peach slices on top.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon or sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Add blueberries or raspberries for a tart twist.
- Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
- Substitute brown sugar for a caramel-like flavor.
- Use almond extract for a nutty variation.
- Toss peach slices in flour to prevent sogginess.
