Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Gives the cake structure and fluffiness.
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar Adds sweetness.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened Provides richness and moisture.
  • 1 cup milk Keeps the cake moist; almond milk can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large eggs Helps bind the ingredients and adds fluffiness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Leavening agent.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Leavening agent; ensure proper measurement.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors.
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced Main flavor; use ripe peaches.

For the frosting

  • 1 cup brown sugar Adds a rich caramel-like flavor.
  • 0.5 cups heavy cream Makes the frosting creamy.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the overall flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour your cake pan to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in the milk until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the diced peaches.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Frosting

  • In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly.
  • Once bubbling, remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding the vanilla extract.
  • Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the brown sugar frosting.

Notes

For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature for a few days, and the cake can be frozen for longer storage. For variations, try using different fruits or adding nuts.
