Ingredients
Scale
- 150g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 320g granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 2 large eggs (about 110g, not including the shell), at room temperature
- 165g sour cream, at room temperature
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- about 3 fresh peaches, cut into segments
- extra granulated sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 330°F (165°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 10" (25cm) round cake pan and line it with parchment paper, creating a sling for easy removal later.
- In a stand mixer bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until thick and airy.
- In a small bowl, measure out the sour cream. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately mix the flour mixture and the sour cream into the batter, starting and ending with flour. Mix briefly between additions and stir gently with a spatula to combine evenly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Ensure no large air bubbles remain.
- Arrange the sliced peaches on top in a decorative pattern. If desired, sprinkle with extra granulated sugar.
- Bake the peach cake for about 55 minutes. Check at 50 minutes. The cake is done when a skewer inserted comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan before using the sling to transfer it to a serving platter. Optionally, dust with icing sugar or serve with cream, ice cream, or Greek yogurt.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
For variation, try adding nuts or a crumb topping before baking.
If using canned peaches, ensure they are well-drained before adding to the cake.
