Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh peaches, diced
• 0.5 cups dried fruits (e.g., apricots, cranberries, or raisins), chopped
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or walnuts)
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced peaches, dried fruits, and chopped nuts using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
