A tender, moist peach cake that captures the sweet, sun-warmed flavor of fresh peaches. Perfect for summer gatherings, this easy homemade dessert balances juicy fruit with a light, luscious crumb.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced (ripe but firm)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g), softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (120ml)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. Peel and dice the peaches into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. If very juicy, gently pat dry with paper towels to reduce moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing gently just until combined.
  8. Gently fold in the diced peaches using a rubber spatula, keeping the batter light and airy.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Pat dry peaches to prevent sogginess. Avoid overmixing batter to keep cake tender. Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for better texture. Tent with foil if browning too quickly. Let cake cool before slicing for clean cuts.
