Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well blended.
  6. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients while alternating with milk. Stir until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the diced peaches, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Baking

  2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool for about 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy every crumb!

Notes

For the best results, peel the peaches and be gentle while folding them into the batter. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
