Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
3 medium fresh peaches, sliced
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
7. Arrange the sliced peaches over the top, pressing them in lightly.
8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
9. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove and let cool completely.
10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added, or the cake can turn dense instead of soft and tender.
