Ina Garten’s Fresh Peach Cake Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups, white sugar divided
- 2 extra large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

Fresh Peach Cake: Before we Bake
Before we start the recipe we’re going to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a nine-inch round pan or a nine-inch square pan. A springform pan works well for this recipe. If you’ve got one, use it. We start the recipe by beating the butter and 1 cup of white sugar in a large bowl for 3 -5 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and add the eggs to the bowl one at a time. After the eggs are mixed in and well incorporated add the sour cream and vanilla to the bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Sift the flour baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. With the mixer on low speed, (low speed so the flour doesn’t fly all over your kitchen when you’re adding it to the bowl) slowly add the sifted ingredients to the batter. Mix until the ingredients are just combined. Next, combine the 1/2 cup of sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl, stir the two together to combine them and set it aside for a minute.
Baking the Peach Cake
We make this delicious peach cake by creating layers with the batter, peeled and pitted sliced fresh peaches and cinnamon sugar. Spread half of the gorgeous sour cream and butter laden batter you made into a greased nine-inch baking pan. Top the batter with half of the sliced peaches and sprinkle with two-thirds of the cinnamon/sugar mixture. Spread the remaining batter on top and arrange the remaining peaches on top of the batter. Sprinkle the peaches with the remaining cinnamon/sugar and pecans. Bake the cake for 45 – 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
That’s one amazing hunk of baked love right there Kids. Fresh peaches, cinnamon, nuts and delicious homemade butter and sour cream cake to boot. Ina Garten’s Fresh Peach Cake, it’s what’s for dessert and it’s delicious, ENJOY!

This looks delicious!! I’d love to try it with pears, yum! 🙂
OK, excuse me while I run to the store for some sour cream. I have to make this cake!
If it’s by Ina Garten, then it’s a winner. The sour cream must give this cake a lot of moisture. Looks fabulous.
I made this today….wow…it is delicious….really worth trying….I did it with canned peaches because it is not peach season now in Greece. But when it is peach season….i will make it with fresh peaches….Thanks…really good.
