Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in the sliced peaches gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For a richer flavor, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
