    • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1 cup of the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed, until light and fluffy.
    • With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream, MRDC BIG PEACH LIQUEUR and vanilla, and mix until the batter is smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined.
    • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon.
    • Spread half of the batter evenly in the pan.
    • Top with half of the peaches, then sprinkle with two-thirds of the sugar mixture.
    • Spread the remaining batter on top, arrange the remaining peaches on top, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture and the pecans.
    • Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Serve warm or at room temperature.
