Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced into thin wedges
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (for tossing peaches)
  • Additional cinnamon (for tossing peaches, about 1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice the fresh peaches into thin wedges. Toss peaches lightly in a small bowl with sugar and cinnamon to enhance their natural sweetness and spice.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined for even spice and leavening distribution.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy, creating an airy cake base.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated to maintain batter emulsion.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture alternated with milk or buttermilk, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients to keep the batter tender and prevent overmixing.
  6. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold the cinnamon-spiced peaches into the batter, distributing evenly for bursts of fruity flavor throughout the cake.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf or bundt pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing. Optionally, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and peach juice to enhance sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for best mixing results and smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter; combine ingredients just until incorporated to keep the cake tender.
  • Select firm, fragrant ripe peaches for optimal natural sweetness and texture.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature and prevent a dry cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool thoroughly before slicing to achieve cleaner, neater slices.
