Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with no crumbs attached, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, butter, orange peel, peaches, and brown sugar.
• Add peach mixture to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened; stir in nuts.
• Spoon mixture into 2 (8x4) loaf pans that have been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan, and set aside.
• Dice 1 peach into 1/3-inch pieces. Pat the pieces dry with a paper towel and set aside.
• Add the remaining 2 peaches and the lemon juice to a food processor or blender, and blend on high until completely puréed. Measure out 1 leveled cup of the purée and transfer it to a mixing bowl along with the melted butter, eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Whisk to combine and set aside.
• Completely scrape down the sides of the food processor, and make the icing using the small amount of puréed peaches still remaining: Add 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar to the remaining peach purée in the food processor and blend on high until combined. The icing should be thick but thin enough to drizzle. Add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or a splash of water to thin, as needed. Cover and set aside until it's time to ice the cake.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt, and whisk to combine. Pour the peach mixture into the flour mixture, and whisk well until the batter is thoroughly combined, then fold in the diced peaches. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spread evenly to the edges, and bake until crusty and golden brown on the top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 75 to 80 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
• Stir the icing a final time and spread it on top of the warm cake, allowing the extra icing to drip down the sides. Cool the cake to room temperature. Slice and serve, or wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store on the counter for up to 3 days.
