  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 810 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • ½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 23 medium ripe peaches, peeled (if desired) and sliced

  • 12 tbsp extra sugar (optional, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round or square pan with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla.

  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.

  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

  • Arrange peach slices evenly over the batter and lightly press them down.

  • Sprinkle with extra sugar if desired for a golden crust.

  • Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Let cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can leave the peach skins on for a more rustic look and flavor.

  • If your peaches are very juicy, pat them dry to avoid a soggy cake.

  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1–2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
