Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, peeled and chopped (drained if using canned)
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Optional:
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle with the additional 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain them well before adding to the batter.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
