  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 cups peaches, pitted, peeled, and diced

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Combine the sour cream and mashed peach. Add the mixture to the butter and sugar and mix until incorporated. Sift the baking soda and 3 cups flour together. Add to the creamed mixture alternating with eggs, beating each egg 1 at a time. Add the orange extract. Toss the diced peaches with the one tablespoons of flour and stir into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan or bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Once the cake has cooled, combine the powdered sugar and orange juice. You may need to alter the amounts of each to get a thick glaze. Pour carefully over the top of the cake and allow to run down the sides.
