Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh peaches (peeled and diced, or use drained canned or thawed frozen peaches)

For the Brown Sugar Frosting:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then add the vanilla and sour cream and beat until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  3. Make the frosting: To make the frosting, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and milk, bring to a boil, and simmer for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the cooled cake and allow to set before slicing.

Notes

  • For extra peach flavor, add ½ teaspoon of almond extract or stir in ½ cup of chopped toasted pecans.
  • Frosting can be doubled for a thicker layer.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature or chilled.
