Ingredients

2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
pinch salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1 large egg
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup small-diced fresh peaches or canned and drained peaches

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, stir the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined, set aside.
2 & 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, pinch salt
In a large bowl whisk together the sugar and butter until smooth.
1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Add the egg and whisk until smooth.
1 large egg
Add the sour cream and vanilla, whisk until smooth.
3/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir it in until combined with no dry patches.
Fold in the peaches.
1 cup small-diced fresh peaches
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and smooth out the top.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Add a foil tent over the pan halfway through to prevent too much browning.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Take the bread out of the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
When the bread is cool, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons whole milk
Pour the glaze over the bread and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

Notes

Use Ripe Peaches: Make sure your peaches are ripe and juicy for the best flavor and texture.
Drain Canned Peaches: If using canned peaches, drain them well to avoid adding extra liquid to the batter.
Cool Completely: Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
Glaze It: Don’t skip the glaze! It adds a delicious sweetness and makes the bread look beautiful.
Adjust Baking Time: Check the bread at the 55-minute mark. If it’s browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
Add Mix-Ins: Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or other fruits to the batter for extra flavor.
