For the 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)
For the glaze:
1½ cups (187.5 g) confectioners' sugar
1-3 tablespoons milk or cream
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and scrape down the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
On low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Pour the 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, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and milk (or cream) until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the top and serve.
If using frozen peaches, there's no need to thaw them before adding to the batter. Frozen peaches may require an additional 5 minutes of baking time.
Canned peaches should be well-drained before use.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for a crunchy twist.
