Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Butter or margarine
Creams with sugar to trap air and adds richness and tender texture.
Eggs
Bind the batter and add structure as the cake sets.
Flour
Forms the cake's structure once baked.
Baking powder
Releases gas in the batter so the cake rises and becomes light.
Peaches
Add moisture and fruity sweetness to the cake.

The step that matters

Layering the batter and peach mixture. Batter placed around the pan bottom gives the peaches a base to sit on and keeps them from sinking unevenly. Keeping the batter in clumps rather than spreading it thin helps the fruit stay distributed through the cake as it bakes.

Swap the peach
