Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time to the mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and any dry ingredients like cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and blend.
  6. Mix in the sour cream and vanilla until combined.
  7. Fold in the diced peaches gently to avoid breaking them.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Baking
  1. If desired, melt butter and sugar together and drizzle over the top of the batter.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing it.
  2. Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream or a quick glaze of powdered sugar and milk.

Notes

For a crispy cobbler-like crust, sprinkle cinnamon sugar inside the greased pan before adding the batter. If the cake doesn't turn out, try layering it with ice cream and calling it trifle.
