🛒 Ingredients
Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk or yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Fruit
- 1 can peaches (drained & chopped)
OR 1½ cups fresh peaches
Optional:
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- chopped nuts
🔪 Step 1 – Prep the Peaches
Drain peaches VERY well.
Pat dry with paper towel.
Too much liquid = soggy cake.
Cut into small chunks.
Set aside.
🥣 Step 2 – Cream Butter & Sugar
Beat butter + sugar until light and fluffy.
About 2–3 minutes.
This step makes cake soft and airy.
Don’t skip.
🥚 Step 3 – Add Wet Ingredients
Add:
- eggs (one by one)
- oil
- milk/yogurt
- vanilla
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Batter should look silky.
🥄 Step 4 – Add Dry Ingredients
Mix flour + baking powder + salt (and cinnamon if using).
Add gradually.
Mix just until combined.
Don’t overmix.
Soft batter = soft cake.
🍑 Step 5 – Fold in Peaches
Gently fold peach chunks.
Don’t stir too hard or they break.
You want nice fruit pieces inside.
🍞 Step 6 – Fill the Pan
Grease loaf pan.
Pour batter.
Smooth top.
Optional: sprinkle brown sugar or nuts.
🔥 Step 7 – Bake
Bake:
170–175°C (340°F)
for 45–55 minutes
Until:
✔ golden brown
✔ toothpick clean
✔ smells sweet and buttery
If browning too fast → cover with foil.
❄️ Step 8 – Cool & Slice
Cool 10–15 minutes.
Remove from pan.
Slice when slightly warm.
You’ll see juicy peach pockets inside 😍
😍 Taste & Texture

Like pound cake + fruit cake hybrid.
