Ingredients:

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) sliced peaches in heavy syrup, drained
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large (100g) eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) reserved peach syrup

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking pan with melted butter.
  2. Arrange half of the drained peach slices in the bottom of the pan for an upside-down effect, or reserve them to fold into the batter.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. In a separate small bowl (or directly into the center of the dry ingredients), whisk the vegetable oil, eggs, sour cream, vanilla, and reserved peach syrup until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Gently fold in the remaining peach slices using a spatula, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter over the peaches (if using a base layer) and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are a deep golden brown.
