Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Make the Cake Batter:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Add Peaches:
  • Gently fold in the sliced peaches into the cake batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and spread it out smoothly.
  • Bake the Cakes:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until well combined and smooth.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Prepare Whipped Cream Topping:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
  • Assemble the Cake:
  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
  • Spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of the first cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting.
  • Frost the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
  • Add Whipped Cream and Serve:
  • Spread or pipe the whipped cream topping over the top of the cake.
  • Decorate with additional peach slices if desired.
  • Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
