Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup buttermilk
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
Optional: Cinnamon or nutmeg, Lemon zest, Almond extract, Additional fruits, Fresh mint leaves, Sliced peaches, Drizzle of honey or caramel
Instructions
Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This process typically takes about 3-5 minutes.
Add eggs: One at a time, beat in the eggs, ensuring each one is well incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until everything is combined.
Fold in peaches: Gently fold in the sliced peaches, reserving a few for decoration if desired.
Pour batter into pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cakes: Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This will be your frosting.
Assemble the cake: On a cake plate, place one cake layer, spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, and add some sliced peaches. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with remaining whipped cream.
Garnish: Decorate with additional peach slices, mint leaves, or a drizzle of honey or caramel.
