Ingredients

• 180 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 Fresh peaches (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer 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

Gradually add in the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until no dry streaks remain; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in half of the sliced peaches into the batter using a spatula.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Arrange the remaining peach slices over the top of the batter in a circular pattern for a decorative finish.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
