Now all you need to do is:

Step 1: Prepare

Gather all of the ingredients you need and preheat your oven to 350F. While the oven is preheating, grease a baking pan (preferably around 9 inches).

Step 2: Make the cake batter

Add the butter and white sugar to a bowl and beat well for a few minutes. You want the mixture to be fluffy. If using a mixer, turn to low and add the eggs individually. Only add the next egg until the previous egg has been mixed in. Once mixed, it’s time to add the vanilla extract and sour cream. Stir well until you have a smooth batter. In a separate bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well, and add the ingredients to the batter.

Step 3: Bake

Add the sugar and cinnamon to a bowl and mix well. Add half of the batter to your prepared pan. Now place half of the sliced peaches and around two-thirds of the cinnamon mix. Now pour the rest of the batter on top, alongside the remaining peaches, cinnamon mixture, and chopped nuts. Place in the center of your oven for around 50-55 minutes. To check whether it’s ready, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake, and it should come out clean.
