Ingredients
  

  • cup Butter softened
  • cups brown sugar packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 3 cups Fresh peaches (from about 3 large peaches – peeled and sliced into 1/2" to 1" chunks)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Frying Pan
  • Peeler
  • Whisk
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Then beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed butter and brown sugar, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat until smooth after each addition.
  5. Gently fold in the peaches with a spatula. Then spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter.
  7. Bake for 38 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Metal pans will usually require less baking time than glass. Serve warm.
