Questions I often get asked about this recipe:

Can I use nectarines instead of peaches?
Yes, nectarines would work well as a substitute.
My peaches aren’t ripe yet, can I still use them?
(Maybe. If they are slightly underripe, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the diced peaches to brighten the flavor. For very firm peaches, it’s best to wait until they ripen.
I don’t have fresh peaches, can I use canned peaches?
Technically yes, but the texture won’t be quite the same. Canned peaches tend to be softer and can make the cake soggy. If you do use canned peaches, be sure to drain them thoroughly.
My cake isn’t done after 60 minutes, what should I do?
Ovens can vary. Check the cake with a toothpick every 5 minutes after 60 minutes. The cake is done when the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Can I make this recipe in a different size pan?
Yes, but the baking time may need to be adjusted. A larger pan will take longer to bake. It’s always best to consult a baking time chart for different pan sizes.
Can I add nuts to this recipe?
Yes, chopped pecans or walnuts would be a delicious addition. Fold them into the batter with the diced peaches.

For the cake:
2 ripe peaches (about 1 pound)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
10 tablespoons (1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar

How to make it:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
Prepare the peaches: Slice one peach into thin ¼-½ inch slices for the top of the cake. Dice the other peach into ½ inch pieces.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Alternate dry and wet ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the peaches: Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter with a rubber spatula.
Assemble the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Arrange the sliced peaches decoratively on top of the batter.
Make the cobbler topping: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the cobbler topping evenly over the peaches.
Bake: Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar for an optional garnish. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
