• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 cup canned or fresh peaches, diced

For the Cream Filling & Topping:

• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup peach preserves (optional, for extra flavor)
• Fresh peach slices (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. Mix in sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and milk until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the diced peaches.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Whipped Cream

1. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
2. If using, gently fold in peach preserves for extra peach flavor.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

1. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread a layer of whipped cream over the top.
2. Garnish with fresh peach slices for a beautiful finishing touch.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

Slice and serve your Peaches and Cream Cake chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea!

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce for a sweet twist.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.

Tips & Variations

• Make It a Layer Cake – Slice the cake in half and add a whipped cream and peach filling between the layers.
• Use Canned Peaches – If fresh peaches aren’t in season, canned peaches (drained) work just as well!
• Gluten-Free Option – Swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
