Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamo
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
- 2 cups fresh peaches, diced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate mixing in the dry ingredients with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle peach pieces on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
Look for firm peaches with fragrance for best flavor. Let eggs come to room temperature for smooth batter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a nice presentation.
