Peach Cake Delight

Introduction
Peach cake is a perfect combination of fruity freshness and soft, buttery cake. Ideal for any occasion, this cake brings a light and moist texture with a burst of juicy peach flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup canned peaches, drained and diced
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a rectangular baking pan. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and yogurt (or sour cream) until smooth.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this could make the cake dense.
3. Add Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula for an even layer.
4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be a beautiful golden color, and the cake should spring back when touched lightly.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, dust the top with powdered sugar for a lovely finish. Slice into squares or rectangles for easy serving.

Conclusion
This peach cake is a delightful treat that captures the essence of summer in each bite. The soft cake paired with the juicy peaches makes for a light yet satisfying dessert. Perfect for a family gathering or a tea party, this cake is sure to impress. Enjoy each slice with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a smile!
