Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch cake pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Peel and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the sliced peaches gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
