Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (about 450g) fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed (for caramel sauce)
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
  • ¼ tsp salt (for caramel sauce)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: In a medium bowl, toss sliced peaches with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to macerate.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Cream butter and brown sugar in a large bowl using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon half of the peach mixture evenly over the batter, then spread the remaining batter on top. Finish with the remaining peaches, pressing down lightly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean but moist crumbs cling to it.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Make the caramel sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt sugar without stirring, swirling gently until amber. Add butter carefully, then whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in salt. Let cool slightly.
  11. Slice the cake and drizzle generously with warm caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Do not overmix batter after adding flour to avoid toughness. Macerate peaches to enhance flavor and moisture. Watch caramel sauce carefully to prevent burning. If caramel hardens, gently rewarm before serving. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour and expect denser texture. For vegan, use dairy-free butter, oat milk, and flax eggs.
