Calories 310 kcal
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or 9x9-inch square cake pan, or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Mix in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the diced peaches gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
