Equipment

  • 9 inch cake pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups peaches sliced and peeled
  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. Then, add a layer of parchment cut into a circle.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and melted butter. Spread the mixture over the parchment paper. Arrange the sliced peaches over the brown sugar mixture.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides often, about 6 minutes.
  • To the sugar mixture, add the egg and vanilla, mixing well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend the flour mixture into the batter a scoop at a time, alternating with the milk, until well mixed.
  • Transfer the batter to the cake pan and spoon evenly over the peaches.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center returns clean.
  • Place the cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge and then place a plate over the cake and invert it onto the plate.
  • Carefully lift the parchment paper off the peaches, replacing any peaches that stick.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely or serve slightly warm.
