How to Make Vanilla Peach Cobbler Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (15 oz) sliced peaches in syrup, drained and chopped (reserve the syrup)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons peach syrup (from the can)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a bundt cake pan or a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in chopped peaches.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of peach syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust with more peach syrup if needed for a drizzle consistency.
- Once the cake is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
