Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the diced peaches gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf or bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.
