Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Peach Filling
In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside to let the peaches macerate while you prepare the cake batter.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Mix until just combined.
3. Assemble the Cake
Pour half of the cake batter into a greased and floured 9-inch bundt pan. Spoon the peach mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it gently to cover the peaches.
4. Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Use Fresh Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, fresh peaches. If fresh peaches are not available, you can substitute with frozen peaches, but be sure to thaw and drain them well.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Add a Glaze: For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle the cooled cake with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk.
