Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or canned peaches, diced and well-drained
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
For Dusting:
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 65–75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
- If using canned peaches, be sure to drain them thoroughly to prevent extra moisture.
- This cake is delicious on its own but also pairs beautifully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
