Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  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.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
