Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 eggs, large
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold the diced peaches into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and, if desired, the chopped pecans for an extra crunch and depth of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the cake cool in the baking dish for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
