  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (12 Tbsp, softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 4 medium peaches

For Garnish

  • Confectioners' sugar for dusting
  • Remaining 1/2 peach, sliced

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan thoroughly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Prepare wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue beating on medium-high speed for another minute. Then, beat in the grated lemon zest and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
  4. Add flour mixture: Reduce the mixer speed to low and gently beat in the dry flour mixture just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Fold in peaches: Using a spatula, carefully fold in the diced peaches so they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared springform pan and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean indicating the cake is fully baked.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Then run a thin spatula around the edges to loosen the cake and remove the sides of the springform pan. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature. Dust the top with confectioners' sugar and garnish with the remaining sliced half peach before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • Room temperature eggs help achieve a lighter texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding flour to keep the cake tender and moist.
  • Let the cake cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar to prevent melting.
  • The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven; check doneness with a toothpick.
