Ingredients

• CAKE:
• 1/2 C butter, softened (I use salted)
• 1 C sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 C sour cream
• 1 t vanilla
• 2 C flour
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 t baking powder
• 1/2 t salt
• 3 large peaches, peeled and sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
• TOPPING:
• 1/2 C sugar
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1/2 C pecans, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar into your stand mixer or large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low.
4. Add 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until the batter is smooth.
5. In a separate bowl combine 2 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss it all around a bit with a fork to combine.
6. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Mix, just until combined.
7. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray and spread half of the batter into it.
8. Peel and slice 2 1/2 cups of peaches (tutorial for peeling and cutting peaches found here). Lay half of the peaches over the batter.
9. Carefully spread the remaining batter over the top of the peaches.
10. In a small bowl combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
11. Layer the rest of the peaches over the batter and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar.
12. Chop 1/2 cup of pecans and sprinkle them over the top of the cake.
13. Toss the pan into your hot oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. You could also serve it as a yummy breakfast cake. Enjoy!
