Fresh peaches turn this cake into a juicy, summery treat, with sweet chunks folded right into the batter so every square gets a burst of fruit. A simple cinnamon-sugar topping bakes into a lightly crisp, golden crust while the inside stays soft and tender. The batter comes together in just two bowls, whisked and folded until thick, then poured into a single pan for an easy bake and easy cleanup. It slices into nine neat squares, perfect for an afternoon snack or a simple dessert with coffee. This one's a great pick for a dairy free spread, no fuss, no fancy equipment, just real peaches and warm spice in every bite.

1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
⅓ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and cut into ¾-inch chunks (about 2 medium peaches)

For the topping

2 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
