Ingredients
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in half the peach slices using a spatula.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan. Arrange remaining peaches on top in a circular pattern.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove ring and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze.
Notes
If using canned peaches, make sure to drain and pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.
For extra depth of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the batter.
This cake can be frozen in individual slices for up to 2 months.
