Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand or stand mixer
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • For the cake:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and sliced
  • For the topping:
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Step 4: Add Wet Ingredients
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully combined.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Step 6: Assemble the Cake
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter. Sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the peaches.
  • Step 7: Bake
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Step 8: Cool and Serve
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
