Ingredients
1cupsugar
1sticksalted butter(melted; 1 stick = 4 oz., or 110g, or 1/2 cup)
2eggs(at room temperature)
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1 1/2cupsall purpose flour(sifted)
3medium peaches(about 2 cups, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees C. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until well-combined.
Alternately fold in the sifted flour, peaches, and walnuts until well-combined. Pour into the prepared pan, and smooth out the batter so it’s evenly distributed.
Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool, slice, and serve. (Refrigerate for 30 minutes for easier slicing.) Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
A note on peeling peaches: Score the bottom of each peach with an "X" using a paring knife. Blanch them in boiling water for 40-60 seconds (less time for really ripe peaches, more time for peaches that might be a little less ripe). Remove with a slotted spoon and dunk into ice water. The peel will come right off!)
