Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Prepare Peaches: In a medium bowl, toss the diced peaches with lemon juice. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the batter.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Add Peaches: Gently fold in the marinated peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once done, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

                  Enjoy: Slice and serve this delightful Yogurt and Peach Cake as a delicious dessert or a sweet treat alongside your afternoon coffee or tea.
