Peach Cake
Peach Cake combines softened butter and packed brown sugar creamed with eggs and vanilla, mixed with flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk, folded around chunks of fresh peeled peaches. The batter is baked in a pan and topped with a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle, resulting in a moist cake with tender peach pieces and a warm cinnamon note.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup butter softened
- 1½ cups brown sugar packed
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups peaches from about 3 large peaches - peeled and sliced into 1/2" to 1" chunks, chopped fresh
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Then beat in eggs and vanilla.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the peaches with a spatula. Then spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter.
- Bake for 38 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Metal pans will usually require less baking time than glass. Serve warm.
