Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups (300g) fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan and line it with parchment paper for a clean release.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no clumps remain.
- Using a mixer, beat the softened butter and Greek yogurt until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring the emulsion is smooth.
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently stir in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before icing to prevent the glaze from melting.
- In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Pour over the cooled cake.
