Perfect Peach Cake

The perfect time to make this cake is when the Colorado Palisade peaches are ripe and available. But, it can also be made with frozen peaches any time of the year. It is a moist cake with lots of cinnamon flavor.

Ingredients

2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
4 medium ripe peaches or 3 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add gradually to the butter mixture, alternatively with buttermilk, beating until smooth after each addition.
Peel and chop peaches. Stir peaches into batter by hand. Pour into baking dish. In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Best served warm.
