Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups whole milk
- 2 cups ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 pieces additional peaches (sliced for garnish)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the diced peaches using a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a large chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of whipped cream over the top.
Add a few slices of fresh peaches over the whipped cream for extra texture and flavor.
Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
Garnish the top with additional peach slices arranged decoratively and a few fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your dream-worthy Peaches N Cream Cake!
