Instructions

How to Make Brown Sugar Peach Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure you grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
  • Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl for even distribution.
  • Combine the dry ingredients with the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the sliced peaches gently, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the top with cinnamon for added flavor.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice and enjoy your delicious Brown Sugar Peach Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season peaches, and ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
