• 2 large eggs

• 3-4 medium peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. In a separate bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well coated.
7. Spread half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Top with half of the sliced peaches.
8. Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the peaches and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining sliced peaches, arranging them in a decorative pattern if desired.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Optional: Garnish with sliced almonds before serving.
12. Serve slices of the peach cake on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
