Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 vanilla bean split, seeds
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups diced fresh peaches about 3 large peaches

Glaze

  • cup fresh peach puree about 1 large peach
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Place rack in center of oven, and preheat oven to 350. Grease and lightly flour inside of 10 inch bundt pan.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Using either a stand mixer (paddle attachment) or a hand mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Gradually add sugar and beat at medium-high speed until the mixture is light in texture and color, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating for 30 to 40 seconds after each addition. Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla bean.
  • At low speed, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with sour cream. (Add a bit of flour, a bit of sour cream, a bit of flour, a bit of sour cream, a bit of flour.)
  • Scoop half of batter into pan and spread with spatula. Sprinkle with peaches. Scoop remaining half of batter on top of peaches. Smooth with spatula.
  • Bake cake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes, then invert it onto another rack. Let cool 5 more minutes.
  • Place the cake on serving plate and poke deep holes all over top with a wooden skewer. Spoon glaze slowly over warm cake and let in soak in and drip down sides.
  • While cake is baking, make glaze. Puree diced peach with an immersion blender or put in regular blender or food processor. Combine peach puree, sugar, and orange juice in a small non reactive saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
