3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Peel and slice the peaches into even wedges and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Arrange the peach slices over the batter in a circular pattern.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or chilled as preferred.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
Make sure the peaches are patted dry if using canned or frozen to avoid sogginess.
Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and tender.
