Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)

Brown Butter Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract thoroughly.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter to evenly distribute the fruit without breaking them down. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter while stirring continuously. Cook until the butter turns a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma, being careful not to burn. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  6. Mix the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the browned butter with powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more cream or powdered sugar as needed.
  7. Frost the Cake: Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the brown butter frosting evenly over the top using a spatula, creating a thick, luscious layer.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor; if using canned peaches, ensure they are well-drained.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Cool the cake completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, fresh peach slices, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an elevated dessert experience.
