  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until smooth. Pour caramel mixture into a 9-inch round cake pan, spreading evenly.
  2. Arrange sliced peaches over the caramel layer in the pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat together granulated sugar and eggs until creamy. Mix in vanilla extract and milk until combined.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients to form a smooth batter. Carefully spoon batter over peaches, smoothing the top.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Invert the cake onto a serving plate, removing the pan gently to reveal caramelized peaches on top. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use canned peaches if fresh are not available; drain and pat dry thoroughly.
  • Can be made in square baking dishes or ramekins for individual servings.
  • Replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for gluten-free options.
  • Prep time approx. 15 minutes; baking time 35-40 minutes. Reheat slices before serving for best texture.
