Peach Cake Recipe: Irresistible Summer Delight

Print Recipe

Peach cake is a timeless dessert that brings together the juicy, fragrant flavor of ripe peaches with a tender, buttery cake. This delightful treat is perfect for summer gatherings, afternoon teas, or just a simple indulgence at home. I first fell in love with this cake during a summer visit to a quaint little town in Georgia, where the locals shared their secret family recipe with me. Ever since then, it’s become a staple in my kitchen whenever peach season rolls around.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cupsall-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cupsgranulated sugar
  • 1 cupunsalted butter, softened
  • 4large eggs
  • 1/2 cupmilk
  • 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoonsalt
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla extract
  • 2 cupsfresh peaches, chopped
  • 1/2 cuppeach preserves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven:Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar:In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs:Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. This ensures a smooth batter.
  4. Mix in the vanilla:Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Prepare the dry ingredients:In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Combine wet and dry ingredients:Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture.
  7. Fold in the peaches:Gently fold in the chopped peaches to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
  8. Bake the cake:Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and drizzle:Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle peach preserves over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

Ensure even mixing:To avoid overmixing, combine the dry and wet ingredients gently.
Use fresh peaches:Fresh, ripe peaches provide the best flavor and texture.
