INGREDIENTS

PEACH FILLING:

• 4 peaches diced
• 2 oz butter melted (4 tablespoons of butter)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons flour

GREEK YOGURT CAKE:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 oz butter softened (4 tablespoons of butter)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt full fat

VANILLA GLAZE:

• 1 tablespoon butter softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 4-5 teaspoons heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Use 9x3 springform pan or 9 inch round cake pan.  Line the bottom of a 9x3-inch springform pan (or 9 inch round cake pan) with parchment paper. Grease the side of the pan with butter or cooking spray.

PEACH FILLING:

1. In a large bowl, mix the sliced peaches, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and the flour until well combined.

GREEK YOGURT CAKE:

1. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 2 eggs until very light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, for about 1 more minute.
3. Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the flour mix until combined. Do not overmix.
4. Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Top the batter with the peach mixture.
5. Bake at 350 F on the middle rack until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the center, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your oven.
6. When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack. After cake has cooled for about 30 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan.

VANILLA GLAZE:

1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, vanilla extract, powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream milk - mix until creamy. Add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of heavy cream to get the desired consistency for the glaze (thick but spreadable).
2. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over still warm cake.
