Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh or canned peaches (diced)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into your wet mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix! Gently fold in diced peaches.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- For the frosting: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Add milk and bring it to a boil briefly before removing from heat. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Frost the cooled cake evenly and let it set before slicing.
