Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups brown sugar packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh peaches peeled and diced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Caramel Icing
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the diced peaches gently to avoid mashing them.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Icing
- While the cake cools, prepare the caramel icing. Cook brown sugar and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted.
- Then stir in milk and bring the mixture to a boil, cooking until it thickens.
- Pour the caramel icing over the cooled cake and serve immediately or store for later.
Notes
Avoid overmixing to ensure a light cake. Use ripe peaches for the best flavor. This cake pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
