Peach Cake
Description
This Peach Cake recipe involves creaming butter and brown sugar until light, then incorporating eggs and vanilla extract. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt are whisked together in a separate bowl. The dry mixture is alternately added with buttermilk to the creamed butter mixture to create a smooth batter.
Fresh peeled and chunked peaches are gently folded into the batter, which is spread evenly into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. The batter is sprinkled with a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon before baking at 350°F for 38 to 45 minutes. A toothpick test near the center indicates doneness.
The finished cake is moist with sweet peach chunks dispersed throughout, complemented by the cinnamon sugar topping’s subtle spice and crunch. Baking time varies slightly depending on pan material, with metal pans requiring less time than glass. Serving the cake warm is suggested to enhance its texture.

- 1½ cups brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
- Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed butter and brown sugar, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat until smooth after each addition.
