Description

If you’re dreaming of a dessert that perfectly captures the warmth and sweetness of summer, look no further than this Brown Sugar Peach Cake.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk

  • 2 cups peeled, diced fresh peaches (about 3 medium peaches)

For the Brown Sugar Frosting:

  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar

  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter

  • 3 tbsp heavy cream

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) powdered sugar

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prep the pan and oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking dish or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

  4. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk: Mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with dry.

  6. Fold in peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches, being careful not to overmix.

  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

  8. Cool: Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid too much moisture in the batter.
Dice peaches evenly for a uniform bake.
If peaches are very juicy, pat them dry with paper towels before folding them into the batter.
Don’t skip the buttermilk—it adds acidity and moisture for a soft crumb.
Let the cake cool fully before frosting to prevent the glaze from melting.
