Assembling the Cake Layers
Pour half of the prepared batter into your greased pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Arrange half of the spiced peach slices over the batter, distributing them evenly.
Pour the remaining batter over the peaches, spreading carefully to cover. Top with the remaining spiced peach slices, arranging them attractively.
For a beautiful marbled effect, use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl through the batter in a figure-eight pattern, incorporating the peaches slightly into the cake.
Baking to Perfection
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the top begins browning too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil during the final 15 minutes.
Cooling and Serving
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack. This resting period helps the cake set and makes removal easier. Carefully invert the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely, or slice and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
