Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches and strawberries.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Glaze and Garnish:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries, peaches, and fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice the loaf cake and serve it as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat with your afternoon tea or coffee.
- Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
