Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, butter, and eggs until creamy. Gradually add in the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined, then fold in the fresh peaches.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the Frosting
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 4: Frost the Cake
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the brown sugar frosting evenly over the top. Allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Slice the cake into squares, serve on plates, and enjoy your delicious peach cake with brown sugar frosting!
Notes
Note 1: Peach Substitutions
If fresh peaches are not available, you can use canned peaches but be sure to drain them well and pat them dry before adding them to the batter.
Note 2: Storage
Store any leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Note 3: Adding Flavor
For additional flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cake batter.
Note 4: Serving Suggestions
This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
