A delicious and moist Peach Cream Cheese Cake that combines the flavors of fresh peaches and creamy cheese for a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (or canned peaches, drained)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the granulated sugar, beating well until combined and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract if using.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the diced peaches and sprinkle in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use fresh peaches when in season.
- Cover the cake loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
