Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 3 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to form the batter.
- Pour the batter into pan: Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Add the peaches and topping: Arrange the sliced peaches evenly over the batter. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping, then sprinkle it evenly over the peaches.
- Bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Ensure peaches are ripe for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Peeling peaches before slicing gives a smoother texture to the topping but you can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
- Use a toothpick test to check doneness to avoid overbaking.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
- For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking.
