🛒 Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped into chunks

For the topping:

  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sprinkling on top)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Irresistible Summer Peach Cake

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

Step 3: Make the Cake Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the batter.

Step 4: Fold in the Peaches

  1. Gently fold in the chopped peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The peaches should be scattered, not fully mixed in, so you get nice chunks of peach in every bite.

Step 5: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  2. Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds (if using) and brown sugar for added texture and a slightly caramelized finish.
  3. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
