Irresistible Summer Peach Cake: A Sweet Taste of Sunshine


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 egg
• ⅓ cup melted butter or coconut oil
• ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3 medium)
• Optional: 1 tbsp cornstarch (to absorb excess juice)
• Optional glaze: ½ cup powdered sugar + 1–2 tbsp milk or peach juice


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix egg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in peach slices (and cornstarch if using).
  6. Pour batter into the pan and arrange extra peach slices on top for a beautiful finish.
  7. Bake 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and top is golden.
  8. Let cool slightly. Optional: Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze for extra sweetness.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate summer dessert!

💡 Best with ripe peaches: Use freestone peaches for easy slicing and maximum juiciness!
