Instructions

Let’s bring this peachy beauty to life:

Preheat Your Equipment: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt or loaf pan to prevent sticking.
Cream the Butter and Sugar: Beat until light and fluffy. This gives the cake its signature fine crumb.
Add Eggs: One at a time, mixing well after each addition to keep the batter smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Alternate Mixing: Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour.
Fold in Vanilla: Stir in that beautiful vanilla extract for flavor magic.
Layer the Batter and Peaches: Pour half of the batter into your pan. Add a layer of peaches sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon. Repeat with remaining batter and peaches.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Flip: Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice it up and enjoy warm, room temp, or even chilled. It’s divine every way.
