- In a large bowl, beat together 1 1/2 sticks of butter with 1 cup sugar on med/high speed until fluffy (4-5 minutes).
- Beat in 3 large eggs, 1 at a time allowing them to incorporate into the batter before adding the next egg then continue mixing for another minute on med/high speed. Once the mixture is well blended, beat in 1/2 tsp fresh lemon zest and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract.
- Set mixer to low and beat in your flour mixture just until blended.
- Use a spatula to fold in the peaches just until evenly dispersed then transfer batter to your prepared springform pan and bake in the center of the oven at 350˚F for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool to room temp before sprinkling the top with confectioners sugar.**
Notes
*Peeling Peaches tip: Ripe peaches will peel very easily. If they aren't super ripe, blanch peaches by putting them in boiling hot water for 1 min. This will make removing the skins much easier.
**Make-ahead tip: You can leave it at room temperature overnight if you want to serve it the next day and sprinkle powdered sugar just before serving.
