Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Whole milk
- 2 Fresh peaches (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until no dry streaks remain; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in half of the sliced peaches into the batter using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Arrange the remaining peach slices over the top of the batter in a circular pattern for a decorative finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
