Ingredients
 

For the cake:

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature (16 Tablespoons )
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups heaping diced fresh peaches
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the syrup:

  • 3/4 cup fresh peach puree (from about 2 peaches)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons bourbon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and generously grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients in a small bowl.
  • In another small bowl, toss the peach chunks with cinnamon.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the sugars, then beat again until the mixture is light in color and fluffy, another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition and scraping the bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla extract.
  • At low speed, add 1/3 of the flour mixture followed by half of the sour cream. Repeat, ending with the flour mixture. Beat on medium low speed until well combined.
  • Spoon ⅓ of the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Layer with half of the peaches. Add another ⅓ of the batter followed by the remaining peaches. Finish with the remaining cake batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool for about 10-15 minutes. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet, then invert cake onto the cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the peach puree with sugar and bourbon. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • To glaze the cake, poke holes all over the cake with a toothpick. Use a pastry brush to brush the glaze all over the tops and sides of the cake. Allow it to soak in, then repeat as desired. I usually repeat about 3 times.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature or warmed in the microwave. It is excellent with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Store the glazed and cooled cake covered loosely with saran wrap at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for 6-7.
  • The easiest way to make the peach puree is to blend it in a food processor or blender.
  • Leftover glaze can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and served with ice cream, pancakes, yogurt, or drinks.
