  • Total Time: 1 hour 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup canned peaches, drained and chopped

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 to 3 tablespoons peach juice

Instructions

1-Prepare the pan and preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350ยฐF, grease an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan, and line bottom with parchment paper.

2-Combine dry ingredients: Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; whisk to blend evenly.

3-Cream butter and sugar: Beat softened butter with granulated sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.

4-Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

5-Mix in sour cream: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of sour cream until just combined.

6-Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the dry mixture in two batches, mixing only until no flour streaks remain to avoid a dense cake.

7-Fold in the peaches: Gently fold drained, chopped peaches into the batter until evenly distributed.

8-Bake the cake: Transfer batter to prepared pan, smooth top, and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean; tent with foil if browning too fast.

9-Cool the cake: Cool in the pan on a rack for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife around edges, invert onto rack, and cool completely before glazing.

10-Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons reserved peach juice until smooth, then spoon over the cooled cake.

Notes

๐Ÿ’ก Blot the chopped peaches dry with paper towels before folding them into the batter to prevent excess moisture from weighing down the cake.
๐Ÿ‘ Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the dry ingredients for a subtle spiced warmth that complements the peach flavor.
โ„๏ธ Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.
