A moist, rich, and warmly spiced cake featuring brown sugar and juicy peaches—perfect for any season and easily made with fresh, canned, or frozen fruit.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour – provides the structure for the cake
  • Brown sugar – adds deep caramel flavor and moisture
  • Baking powder and baking soda – help the cake rise
  • Ground cinnamon and nutmeg – add warm spice notes
  • Eggs – bind ingredients and give the cake structure
  • Butter or oil – adds moisture and richness
  • Sour cream or yogurt – enhances tenderness and adds tang
  • Vanilla extract – brings balance and sweetness
  • Peaches (fresh, canned, or frozen) – deliver juicy texture and fruitiness

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice fresh peaches or drain and pat dry canned/frozen peaches.
  2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in one bowl.
  3. Cream together butter (or oil) and brown sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream or yogurt to the wet mixture.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet, then fold in peach slices.
  6. Pour batter into a greased baking pan and top with extra peaches.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 35–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing or chill to set for firmer pieces.

Notes

  • Use dark brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Drain peaches thoroughly to avoid soggy cake.
  • Let the cake chill for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Add chopped nuts or glaze for extra flavor and texture.
