Follow these simple steps to create your Southern Peach Bread Loaf:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporate Yogurt: Mix in the yogurt until smooth.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches along with the lemon juice, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
