Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup ripe peaches, peeled and diced about 3 medium
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp fine salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 4 oz beaten eggs about 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup sour cream full-fat for best texture
- 0.25 cup milk whole milk preferred
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8-inch square or 9-inch round pan with parchment.
- Toss the diced peaches with lemon juice and set aside to let the juices settle.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until fluffy, 2–3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs a little at a time, then mix in vanilla until smooth.
- Blend in sour cream. Scrape the bowl to keep the batter even.
- Add dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the peaches and any juices gently to avoid overmixing.
- Spread batter into the pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake 38–44 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool 15 minutes in the pan, then turn out or slice and serve warm.
Notes
Variation: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans or add 1 tbsp bourbon to the peaches. For convenience, you can use well-drained canned peaches; pat dry before folding in. Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; warm slices briefly before serving.
