Ingredients
- 3–4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Topping (10 minutes):
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bread pan (approximately 9×5 inches), melt 1/4 cup butter in the oven. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the peach slices over the brown sugar, creating a single layer. - Mix Dry Ingredients (5 minutes):
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. - Cream Butter and Sugar (5 minutes):
In a large bowl, cream the 1/2 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients (5 minutes):
Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. - Assemble the Cake (5 minutes):
Carefully pour the cake batter over the peaches in the bread pan, spreading it evenly. - Bake (35-40 minutes):
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. - Invert and Serve (5 minutes):
Place a serving plate over the bread pan and carefully flip the cake onto the plate. If any peach slices stick to the pan, gently replace them on top of the cake. - Cool and Enjoy:
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This cake is delicious when served warm or at room temperature.
