There is something so special about baking with fresh summer peaches. This sheet cake is a favorite in my kitchen because it is simple to put together and always gets rave reviews at picnics or family gatherings. The raspberry jam adds a little zing that balances out the sweetness perfectly.

My secret tip for this cake is to make sure your peaches are nice and ripe. If you have some fruit that is getting a little too soft on your counter, this is the best way to use it up before it goes to waste.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup softened butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1/2 cup butter for the frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 by 13 inch baking pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3
Add the softened butter, eggs, sour cream, milk, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
4
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.
5
Dollop the raspberry jam over the batter and use a knife to swirl it through. Arrange the peach slices on top.
6
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
7
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting by melting the butter in a pan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
8
Drizzle the warm brown butter frosting over the slightly cooled cake before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. This cake tastes wonderful served warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on the side.
