Description
A delightful treat that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the rich flavor of brown sugar, resulting in a moist and tender cake perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the sliced peaches for about 15 minutes until soft and caramelized.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Once your batter is ready, gently fold in the roasted peaches along with any juices from the baking sheet. This adds natural sweetness and moisture to the cake. Be careful to fold gently so the peaches don’t break apart too much.
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or similar) with butter and lightly dust with flour, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown and slightly pulling away from the edges of the pan.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan butter instead of regular butter.
- Replace the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water for a vegan version.
- For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
