Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh peaches
- 1 ½ cups (12 oz / 340 g) unsalted butter, room temp
- 8 oz (226 g) full-fat cream cheese, room temp
- 2 ½ cups (500 g) granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, room temp
- 3 cups (354 g) cake flour
- ½ cup (110 g) brown sugar
- ⅓ cup (80 g) sour cream, room temp
- ¼ cup (2 oz / 57 g) melted butter
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (4 g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (1 g) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp (3 g) salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and thoroughly grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray.
- Peach Arrangement: Layer peach wedges across the bottom of the Bundt pan, then scatter diced peach cubes. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter, then lavishly pour over the arranged fruit.
- Creaming Process: Whip butter until airy, then integrate cream cheese. Gradually add sugar, creating a velvety foundation. Incorporate sour cream and vanilla, then methodically introduce eggs, ensuring complete integration after each addition.
- Batter Assembly: Gently fold diced peaches into the mixture. Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt directly into the wet ingredients, blending on low speed until just combined.
- Baking Technique: Pour batter into prepared pan, firmly tapping to eliminate air bubbles. Bake for 80-90 minutes, checking doneness with a clean toothpick inserted into the center.
- Cooling and Serving: Rest cake in pan for one hour post-baking, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Allow complete cooling before garnishing with optional whipped cream and caramel sauce.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Thoroughly spray Bundt pan with nonstick spray to ensure cake releases smoothly without sticking.
- Slice Peaches Strategically: Cut peaches uniformly to guarantee even distribution and consistent texture throughout the cake.
- Monitor Mixing Carefully: Blend ingredients just until combined to maintain the cake’s tender, delicate crumb and prevent tough texture.
- Bake with Precision: Watch baking time closely; test with a toothpick to avoid over or underbaking, which can compromise the cake’s quality.
