Ingredients

  • For the Topping
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter (57g/½ stick)
  • â…“ cup brown sugar (firmly packed, or 150g)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 peaches (large and ripe, cut into slices, approximately ½-inch thick)
  • For the Cake
  • 1 â…“ cups flour (150g)
  • 1¾ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (43g. Unsalted)
  • ¾ cup sugar (149g)
  • 1 egg (large, at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup milk (room temperature)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Lightly grease a 9" round cake pan, and line it with parchment paper
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside 
  • Arrange the peaches in a circular pattern (or any pattern, or randomly, if you’d like) in the prepared pan
  • In a small saucepan, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter. When it’s melted, mix in the brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour this the mixture over the peaches, and spread it as evenly as possible
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar until fairly smooth
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla
  • Add the flour mixture, in three additions, alternating with the milk. Mix at medium speed, beginning and ending with the flour
  • Spoon the thick batter into the prepared pan, spreading it to the edges of the pan. It may not cover the peaches entirely. That's fine
  • Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Wait for 3 minutes, then turn the pan over onto a serving plate. Wait 30 seconds, then lift the pan off. A peach slice or two may stick to the pan. If so, just lift it out and place it back on the cake
  • Serve warm or at room temperature

Notes

NOTE:
  • If the peaches aren't fully ripe, cut them slightly thinner
