Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups cake flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup oil, canola or vegetable
- 1 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 oz freeze-dried peaches, grounded to a fine crumb
- 1 cup lightly pureed peaches, about 2-3 peaches or 6 oz
- 1 tsp white granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 4 peaches, peeled and cubed or 1 lb
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed light or dark
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed light or dark
- 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups unsalted butter, slightly cold
- 5 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray three 8-inch cake pans with non-stick baking spray and line with parchment circles. Spray again.
- Peel and chop the peaches. Blend them in a food processor until small pieces remain. Sprinkle sugar over the peaches and let sit for 5 minutes. Blend freeze-dried peaches into a fine crumb.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a mixer, beat the butter, oil, and sugar on high for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, eggs, freeze-dried peaches, and pureed peaches; mix on medium speed until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir by hand to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Evenly divide the batter among the three prepared pans, or use a food scale for accuracy. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
You can substitute the fresh peaches with other fruits such as cherries or apricots if desired.
For added flavor, consider drizzling a peach glaze on top before serving.
