Ingredients

• 4 medium (peeled, pitted, and sliced) Fresh peaches
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup (packed) Brown sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or a springform pan. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour half the batter into the prepared cake pan. Arrange half of the sliced peaches evenly over the batter.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the peach layer, spreading it gently with a spatula. Arrange the remaining peach slices on top of the batter in a decorative pattern.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
