How to Make Peach Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the sour cream or yogurt, until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches to distribute them evenly in the batter.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Step 4: Frost and Serve
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top.
- For a decorative touch, garnish with peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips for the Perfect Peach Cake
- Fresh vs. Canned Peaches: Fresh peaches work best for flavor, but canned peaches (drained) also work well. Avoid frozen peaches, as they release too much moisture.
- Adjusting the Sweetness: If using canned peaches in syrup, reduce the sugar slightly.
- Serve Chilled or Room Temperature: This cake tastes amazing chilled, but you can also serve it at room temperature for a softer texture.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
