Ingredients

Scale
    • 2 cups all‑purpose flour
    • 1½ cups granulated sugar
    • ½ cup butter
    • softened
    • 1 cup grape juice
    • 3 large eggs
    • 2 cups fresh peaches
    • diced
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
    2. Cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and grape juice.
    4. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in diced peaches.
    6. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
    7. Bake 30‑35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
    8. While cake cools, whisk brown sugar and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
    9. Once cake is completely cool, spread the brown sugar frosting on top.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor
  • substitute half of the grape juice with apple juice. Ensure peaches are fully ripe for maximum sweetness. Frosting sets best when applied to a completely cooled cake.
