Step-by-Step Instructions for Summer Peach Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your round cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  5. Fold in the sour cream until fully integrated.
  6. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just mixed.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped peaches until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
  10. Whisk together the powdered sugar and peach juice until smooth to make the glaze.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
  12. Slice and serve with optional ice cream or whipped cream.
