Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large bowl
  • Loaf pan (9x5 inch)

  • Toothpick

Method
 

Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined before folding in the diced peaches.
Cooking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serving
  1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely; slice and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter. You can also drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled cake made from powdered sugar and milk or lemon juice.
