Ingredients

Sugar/Butter Top

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted - melted
  • 2 cups peaches - sliced and peeled

Cake

  • ½ cup butter unsalted - room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 oil. 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 in the bottom of the pan.
  • 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.
  • 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 it 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.
