Instructions

1. Make the Cake Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  4. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

  6. Mix in vanilla and sour cream.

  7. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.

  8. Fold in the diced peaches.

2. Bake the Cake

  1. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

  2. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  3. Allow the cake to cool completely.

3. Make the Brown Sugar Frosting

  1. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for 2–3 minutes, until dissolved and smooth.

  3. Add the milk and bring to a gentle boil.

  4. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  5. Whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

4. Frost the Cake

  1. Spread the frosting over the fully cooled cake.

  2. Let the frosting set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Fresh vs. canned peaches: Fresh peaches give the brightest flavor, but canned peaches work great—just drain them well.

  • Thicker frosting? Add more powdered sugar until it reaches your preferred consistency.

  • Pretty presentation: Top with extra peach slices, chopped pecans, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
