Equipment

  • Stand or hand-held mixer
  • Loaf pan
  • Mixing bowls

Ingredients

Peaches:

  • 350 g peaches 12 oz/ 2 cups when chopped (Note 2)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ tablespoon cinnamon

Coating for the tin:

  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Batter:

  • 250 g unsalted butter 1 cup/ 2 sticks/ 8 oz
  • 250 g granulated sugar 1 ¼ cup/ 8.8 oz
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs large US, medium Germany
  • 350 g all-purpose flour 3 cups/ 12.3 oz
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

Preparations:

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Prepare peaches, but don’t coat them yet. Remove stones and cut fruit into small pieces. Place in a bowl. Only coat them with the flour and cinnamon mixture before adding to the batter.
  • Prepare the pan (Note 2): Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Butter the baking pan well and coat with about ¾ of the sugar mixture. Reserve the rest for sprinkling on top of the batter.

Batter:

  • Cream the butter and the sugar for about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix well after each addition, about 1 minute per egg. Scrape the walls of the mixing bowl as required.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Sift about ⅓ of it over the eggs and mix in gently and shortly at the lowest speed of the mixer. Repeat with two more batches of the flour mix.
  • Coat peaches: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon flour and ½ tablespoon cinnamon. Sprinkle over the chopped peaches and toss to coat. Carefully fold the chopped fruit into the batter.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  • Bake for 60 to 70 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let set in the baking form for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Notes

  1. Always use a digital kitchen scale when baking; it guarantees the best results (Amazon affiliate link).
  2. Fresh, frozen (defrosted), or canned peaches (drained) or with nectarines.
    Alternatives: plums, apples, cherries, canned and drained mandarins, seedless grapes, berries. About 2 cups of chopped fruit or unchopped berries.
  3.  Pan:
  • 25 cm/ 10 inches. It needs about 60-70 minutes of baking time.
  • 30 cm/ 12 inches. It needs about 50-60 minutes of baking time.
  • Springform 24 cm/ 9 inches. It needs about 50-60 minutes of baking time.
  • Bundt cake tin. It needs about 60-70 minutes of baking time.
  • Always check if the cake is baked through with a toothpick or wooden stick. It should come out clean, not wet.
