1 cup butter, room temperature

1 3/4 granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Set aside. 

In a large bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, sugar and orange zest.  Beat at low-medium speed until creamy.  Add eggs, vanilla and beat again for 30 seconds. 

Add dry flour mixture gradually, alternating with sour cream. Mix until smooth. 

In a medium bowl, combine peaches, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Stir to coat peaches evenly.

Spread half the batter in prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of peach mixture, making sure peaches do not touch the sides of the dish. Spread remaining batter evenly over peaches.
