Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized fresh peaches
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan and lightly dust it with flour. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into thin wedges, then set them aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.

Step 8

Arrange the peach slices over the top of the batter in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping them for an elegant look.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
