Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1/4 cup whole milk, at room temperature
3-4 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
For the Topping:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Peel and Slice:
Peel the peaches and remove the pits. Slice them thinly and set aside.
Optional Thickening:
If your peaches are very juicy, you can toss the slices with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to help thicken their juices while baking.
Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add Sour Cream and Milk:
Mix in the sour cream until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Layer the Batter and Peaches:
Spread half of the cake batter evenly in the prepared pan. Arrange half of the peach slices over the batter. Spread the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out with a spatula. Arrange the remaining peach slices on top in a decorative pattern.
Step 4: Prepare the Topping
Mix Topping Ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well mixed.
Add Topping to Cake:
Drizzle the topping mixture evenly over the peaches on top of the cake.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
Cool:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove the sides of the springform pan (if using) and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 6: Serve
