Ingredients
  

Cake Batter
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peaches peeled and diced (fresh, canned, or thawed frozen)

Equipment

  • 1 9-inch round cake pan
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Whisk

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Tip 1: For best results, ensure all cold ingredients like eggs and buttermilk are at room temperature.
Tip 2: To prevent peaches from sinking, you can toss them in 1 tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter.
Tip 3: This cake is delicious on its own, but also pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
