1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 Tbsp vanilla

1 Tbsp bourbon

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 ¼ cups flour

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 cups fresh peaches, diced

Preheat oven to 350*. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the eggs, vanilla, bourbon and lemon juice. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt on top and mix until just combined. Add the buttermilk and peaches mixing in by hand with a rubber scraper. Spray oil in a 9x13 pan and pour the prepared batter in. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean of crumbs.
