Description
A moist, fruity cake featuring fresh peaches and raspberries, topped with a zesty lemon glaze for a light and refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Fresh raspberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the sour cream and milk to the butter mixture and mix until just combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches and raspberries, being careful not to crush the berries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Top with fresh raspberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
- You can use frozen peaches and raspberries, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid before adding to the batter.
- If you prefer, substitute sour cream with plain yogurt for a similar texture and flavor.
- For added moisture, you can add a few tablespoons of applesauce or extra sour cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- If you’re short on time, the lemon glaze can be skipped, but it adds a nice tangy touch to balance the sweetness of the cake.
