How to Make
- Prep the Peaches
- Mix Ingredients
- Combine Bowls
- Add Peaches
- Bake the Cake
- Cool and Serve
Start by washing the peaches well. Peel and slice them into thin pieces, setting them aside once they’re ready.
In one bowl, mix sugar, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs and add melted butter and vanilla.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, but don’t worry about the lumps.
Fold in the sliced peaches carefully, trying not to mash them. You’ll want to see those lovely pieces throughout your batter.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake it in a preheated oven until it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for a bit before slicing. Serve it plain, or add a dusting of powdered sugar on top for a little extra touch.
What to Serve With
This cake pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. It complements tea or coffee, making it a delightful dessert for afternoon snacking. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon to brighten it up further during servings.
How to Store This Recipe
Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for a short period. For longer storage, refrigerate it to maintain freshness. Make sure it’s sealed well so it doesn’t dry out or absorb other fridge odors.
Recipe Variations and Add-ins
You can add blueberries or raspberries along with the peaches for a mixed fruit cake. Chopped nuts can also bring crunch and flavor, adding depth to each bite. A drizzle of honey on top can provide a nice touch of sweetness.
FAQ
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, you can use frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the batter.
What if I don’t have vanilla extract?
If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can skip it or use almond extract for a different flavor twist.
How can I tell when the cake is done?
The cake is done when it’s golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
More Tips
Cutting back on sugar is possible if you want a less sweet version. You can also experiment with replacing some of the flour with almond flour for a nutty touch. Lastly, adding a little lemon zest can brighten the flavor significantly.
