\n– 1 \u00bd teaspoons baking powder
\n– \u00bd teaspoon baking soda
\n– \u00bd teaspoon salt
\n– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
\n– 1 \u00bd cups granulated sugar
\n– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
\n– 4 large eggs
\n– 1 cup whole milk
\n– 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or canned peaches, drained)<\/p>\n
For the topping:
\n– 1 cup granulated sugar
\n– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n– \u00bd cup unsalted butter, melted
\n– 1 cup whole milk
\n– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n
### Instructions<\/p>\n
1. **Preheat your oven** to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
2. **Prepare the peach filling**: In a medium bowl, toss the sliced peaches with \u00bd cup of granulated sugar and set aside for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.<\/p>\n
3. **Mix the dry ingredients**: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/p>\n
4. **Combine wet ingredients**: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 \u00bd cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.<\/p>\n
5. **Add eggs**: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.<\/p>\n
6. **Combine wet and dry mixtures**: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.<\/p>\n
7. **Fold in the peaches**: Gently fold the prepared peaches into the batter, being careful not to overmix.<\/p>\n
8. **Pour the batter**: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.<\/p>\n
9. **Prepare the topping**: In a small bowl, combine the 1 cup of granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cake batter.<\/p>\n
10. **Add melted butter and milk**: Drizzle the melted butter over the sugar and cinnamon topping. Then pour the cup of milk over the entire surface of the cake. Do not stir; this will create a beautiful layered effect.<\/p>\n
11. **Bake**: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n
12. **Cool and serve**: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before serving. <\/p>\n
### Tips<\/p>\n
– Fresh peaches are ideal, but if they\u2019re out of season, frozen or canned peaches (sliced and drained) work well too.
\n– Consider adding spices like nutmeg or ginger for a unique twist.
\n– Substitute coconut milk for regular milk to add a subtle coconut flavor.
\n– For an extra indulgent treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.<\/p>\n
### Serving Suggestions<\/p>\n
Slice the cake into squares and serve it warm or at room temperature. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. Serve alongside a refreshing iced tea or a glass of cold lemonade for a perfect summer dessert pairing. Enjoy sharing this sweet taste of Southern tradition with family and friends!<\/p>\n
