Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh ripe peaches, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the diced peaches gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf or bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

If desired, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.
