Description
A rich, buttery cake topped with slices of juicy, caramelized peaches, creating a dessert that is both simple and sophisticated.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh peaches, pitted and sliced
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan for easy removal.
- Prepare Peaches: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, and cook until the mixture is bubbly. Pour this caramel mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- Arrange Peaches: Neatly arrange the sliced peaches over the caramel mixture, ensuring they cover the bottom of the pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the arranged peaches in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Down: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter.
- Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
For best flavor, use fully ripe peaches. You can substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour for a gluten-free option or add fresh berries to the peach layer.
