Ingredients
Cake:
- Butter, for greasing the baking dish
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting the pan
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- One 15-ounce can sliced peaches in 100-percent juice, drained, patted dry with paper towels and coarsely chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
Frosting:
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Directions
For the cake: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a medium bowl until blended. Beat the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla in a separate large bowl to blend. Stir in the chopped peaches. Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with no crumbs attached, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely, about 1 hour.
For the frosting: Beat the butter, cream, 2 tablespoons water and vanilla in a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until light and creamy, adding extra water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled loaf. Allow the frosting to set for 25 minutes. Cut the loaf into slices and serve.

I followed directions exactly. 1 hour and 10 minutes is way too long. I took it out after 1 hour and the tops and sides were already hard. It does not have much of a peach taste either. Maybe if the juice from the peaches was included it would have been more moist. I will not make this again.

I love this recipe!!! Simple, nothing fancy, yet very delics. I think the frosting taste even better when you put it on the cake still warm, so that it can melt all over the cake. Thinking of baking as cupcakes for my daughter.. so far nothing but great reviews from all that have tried it in my home.
