Instructions
Peach Bundt Cake
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan withwith non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Add the vanilla and sugar, beating together on medium speed until the sugar is fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Be sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Use a spatula to scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
With the mixer set to the lowest speed, gradually add the flour to the batter. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is fully incorporated. Do not overmix!
Gently fold in the peaches.
Transfer the batter to the bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edge and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Icing:
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together on medium speed until smooth and creamy– about 2 minutes.
On low speed, add the powdered sugar a little at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Once all of the powdered sugar has been added, turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the icing is light and fluffy– about 2 minutes.
Drizzle or spread icing over the cooled peach bundt cake and enjoy.
NOTE: If the icing is too thick you can add mix in a bit of milk, a teaspoonful at a time, until the icing reaches the desired consistency. If you want to cover the top of the cake with icing it helps to thin it out a bit before pouring it on.
Notes
You can peel the peaches as well if desired, although it is not necessary.We went light on the icing and just added a small drizzle, but feel free to add a thicker drizzle or spoon the icing over the top of the cake for extra sweetness.The cream cheese icing recipe will yield enough to cover the entire cake. If you want to just add a small drizzle as well did you can half the recipeStore leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
