Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch tube pan by greasing and flouring it.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract, blending well into the batter.
5
In a separate bowl, combine the sifted flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing just until the flour disappears.
6
Gently fold in the sour cream and then the chopped peaches. Be careful not to overmix; aim for a consistent batter with chunks of peach throughout.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Serve each slice topped with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
