Cake Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º
  • Grease a 9x13 cake pan
  • Beat butter and brown sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer
  • Beat in milk, juice, and vanilla
  • Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined
  • Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture
  • Fold in the peaches into the cake batter
  • Spread into the prepared pan
  • Bake in center of oven for 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely

Icing Instructions

  • When the cake is cool make the icing, combine butter, cream, and brown sugar in a saucepan
  • Bring to a boil
  • Remove from the heat, whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth
  • Pour on top of the cake and spread evenly. Do this quickly as the icing sets up fast

Notes

To peel fresh peaches, bring a pot of water to a boil. Prepare a bowl of water and add ice. Cut an X in the skin of a peach and drop it in the boiling water. Quickly pull it back out and drop it in the ice water bath. When the fresh peach is cool the skin will just easily peel right off.
