Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups fresh peaches, pitted and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter a 10-inch tube pan and dust with white sugar.

Step 2

Place remaining 1/4 cup flour into a small bowl. Add peaches and toss to coat, then fold floured peaches into batter. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Beat sugar and butter together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

Step 5

Sift 2 ¾ cups flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl; gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture.
