Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 stick salted butter (melted; 1 stick = 4 oz., or 110g, or 1/2 cup)
  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (sifted)
  • 3 medium peaches (about 2 cups, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks)
  • 1 cup walnut pieces
  • powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well-combined.
  3. Alternately fold in the sifted flour, peaches, and walnuts until well-combined. Pour into the prepared pan, and smooth out the batter so it’s evenly distributed.
  4. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool, slice, and serve. (Refrigerate for 30 minutes for easier slicing.) Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • A note on peeling peaches: Score the bottom of each peach with an "X" using a paring knife. Blanch them in boiling water for 40-60 seconds (less time for really ripe peaches, more time for peaches that might be a little less ripe). Remove with a slotted spoon and dunk into ice water. The peel will come right off!)
