Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside to allow the peaches to macerate and release their juices.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch loaf pan or bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, spreading it gently to cover the peaches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use fresh peaches for the best flavor. Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense cake. Optional: Add a glaze of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
