Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended (2-3 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely (30 minutes).
  9. To prepare the glaze, mix powdered sugar, melted butter, diced peaches, and optional vanilla extract. Adjust consistency with cream as needed.
