A moist and tender cake bursting with the sweet, juicy flavor of peaches, lightly spiced with vanilla and topped with a delicate peach glaze. Perfect for warm weather gatherings.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup canned peaches, drained and chopped

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons peach juice (from canned peaches)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the chopped peaches gently.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and peach juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Substitute fresh peaches for canned when in season for an even fresher taste.
  • Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm spice twist.
  • Mix in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added texture.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier flavor and lighter texture.
  • Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream instead of the glaze for a different presentation.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Freeze wrapped tightly for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in fridge.
  • Use fresh peach juice for glaze and adjust powdered sugar for consistency.
  • Can bake in 9-inch round or loaf pan with adjusted baking time.
