Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth.
  • Gradually add the sugar and mix until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • On low, beat in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  • Add the diced peaches and fold them in by hand.
  • Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, filling it about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. (The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few crumbs, but no wet batter. Do not underbake – you want a golden-brown crust.)
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to let it cool completely.
