Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream or plain greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large, ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (use 4 if your peaches are smaller)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy. While this is happening, in a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. And in a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon
- With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined.
- Spread half of the batter evenly in the pan. Top with half of the peaches, then sprinkle with half of the sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter on top, arrange the remaining peaches on top, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture and the pecans.
- Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
