Easy and delicious cake for any occasion but really captures Summer.
Ingredients
Cake
1½ cups (3 sticks, 340 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (230 g) sour cream
3 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced (approximately 2 cups)
Glaze
1½ cup (187.5 g) confectioners’ sugar
1-3 tablespoons milk, or cream
Instructions
Cake
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth.
3. Gradually add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as
eeded.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
6. On low, beat in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
7. Add the diced peaches and fold them in by hand.
8. Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan, filling it about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. (The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. Do not under bake – you want a golden-brown crust.)
9. Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to let it cool completely.
Glaze
1. In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar and a tablespoon of milk (or cream). Whisk until smooth, adding more milk until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
2. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and serve.
