Ingredients
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

- 2 cups sliced fresh peaches
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
