Peach Buttermilk Pound Cake

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or bundt pan.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract and fold in the diced peaches gently.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
