Cinnamon Peach Yogurt Cake | Moist, lightened up cinnamon cake full of fresh peaches and topped with vanilla bean glaze!Half way through another week, woohoo! This week has been going by pretty slow for me. I don’t know if it’s the heat that’s bringing me down or something else. I’ve had a total lack of motivation to work and would prefer to just lay in bed and binge watch Netflix shows all day. Sadly, watching Netflix all day doesn’t pay bills or leave me with any money to do fun things on the weekends, wouldn’t it be great if it actually did?! To help motivate myself to get through the rest of this work week and you too if you’re having a week like I am, I made a Cinnamon Peach Yogurt Cake.

I’m not going to lie, there will be a few more peach recipes showing up in the next month, but I promise I’ll break them up with other delicious recipes and not bombard you for a week straight with peach-a-palooza!

So this totally means you can have two slices, you bet your booty I did! This is an 8″ single layer cake, I tend to steer clear from baking layer cakes because all I need is a huge layer cake staring me in the face and daring me to sneak just one more slice. Not to mention I have yet to perfect frosting a layer cake. All you cake bakers/decorators out there, props to you and your awesome frosting skills, I envy you!

Then, go ahead and be a little naughty and spoon the awesome vanilla bean glaze all over the top. Since the cake’s lightened up, we can afford to be a little naughty and add the glaze, right? My favorite part about the glaze besides those flecks of vanilla bean, was how it filled the indentations where the peach slices on top had sunk down when the cake baked. It’s like a little swimming pool of vanilla bean glaze, be sure you get one of those slices!

Instructions

Cinnamon Peach Yogurt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray an 8" cake pan with cooking spray then line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, spraying and lightly flouring the pan once the parchment is in place.
  3. In a large bowl sift together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand held mixer beat together the sugar and butter until well combined.
  5. Add in the egg and egg whites one at a time, beating until combined and scraping down the sides after the addition of each egg.
  6. Add in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt and beat for another 1-2 minutes until combined.
  7. Slowly add in the dry ingredients beating until just combined.
  8. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the diced peach.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top.
  10. Place the slices of peach in a circular pattern on top of the cake batter.
  11. Sprinkle the tablespoon of raw sugar all over the top of the cake if desired.
  12. Bake for 45-50 minutes on the middle rack of the oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before removing it and cooling it completely on a wire rack.

Vanilla Bean Glaze

  1. In a small bowl whisk together all of the ingredients for the glaze until it is smooth and pourable.
  2. If the glaze is too thick add a little more milk and if it's too thin add a little more powdered sugar. Pour or spoon the glaze all over the top of the cooled cake.
