Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Peaches, sliced (fresh or canned and drained)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Add the softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix using an electric mixer on medium speed until the batter is smooth and combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until light and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture gently over the cake batter, covering it as evenly as possible.
Layer the sliced peaches on top of the cream cheese in a decorative pattern or scatter them evenly across the surface.
If desired, sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the peaches for added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the cream cheese layer) comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
