400g white sugar
225g butter or margarine, softened
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
375g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
400g fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 165°C (325°F). Grease a 25cm (10-inch) tube pan and sprinkle with white sugar.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Sift 330g of the flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
Step 4
Place the remaining 45g of flour in a small bowl. Toss the peaches in the flour to coat, then gently fold them into the batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
