Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups diced peaches
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined. Ensure all wet ingredients are thoroughly integrated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. This helps remove any lumps and evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Reserve a few peach pieces for topping if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light glaze before serving. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal cake texture.
- When folding peaches into the batter, pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from making the cake soggy.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract or using Greek yogurt for a richer taste.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake light and tender.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - a few moist crumbs are perfect, but no wet batter.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to help it set and maintain its structure.
- For a more decadent presentation, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
