Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
- 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: Make the Cake Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the sour cream (or yogurt) until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the cake batter.
- If using nuts, sprinkle them on top for extra crunch.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Cool & Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
