Peach Raspberry Cake

Here’s a delicious recipe for Peach Raspberry Cake:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or frozen peaches, thawed and drained)
• 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen raspberries, thawed and drained)

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the Cake:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in Fruit: Gently fold in the diced peaches and raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze:

1. Mix Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a bit more milk; if too thin, add more powdered sugar.
2. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top.

Tips:

• Fruit Preparation: If using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
• Flavor Variations: You can substitute other fruits if peaches and raspberries aren’t available.

Enjoy this flavorful and fruity cake for a delightful dessert or afternoon treat!
