Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Fruit

  • 34 ripe peaches, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined, creating a smooth batter.
  2. Assemble Cake: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish or cake pan, spreading evenly. Arrange the sliced peaches on top, slightly pressing them into the batter.
  3. Bake Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled cake in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
  • Butter can be substituted with margarine if desired.
  • This cake is delicious served with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey.
