Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 3–4 fresh peaches (or canned peaches, drained and sliced)
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl. Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined and smooth.
4. Add the Peaches: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Evenly arrange the peach slices on top of the batter.
5. Bake the Cake: Bake in the oven for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
