Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 3 medium ripe peaches
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 2 minutes. Pour this mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan.

Step 3

Peel the peaches and slice them thinly. Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern over the brown sugar mixture in the cake pan.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

Step 7

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture. Start with one-third of the dry ingredients, then half of the milk, and repeat, ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the batter over the peach slices in the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, invert it onto a serving plate by placing the plate on top of the pan and flipping it over. Tap gently to release the cake.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
