  3. In another bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until the flour disappears.
  5. Fold in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of diced fresh peaches.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
