Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredient mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches by hand.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk/cream, and lemon juice until smooth. Add more milk if a thinner glaze is desired.
- Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top and allow it to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
For an extra depth of flavor, sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon or nutmeg into the dry ingredient mix. Ensure peaches are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape during mixing.
