Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4-5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly and well combined. Pour the caramel mixture into the greased cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Arrange the sliced peaches on top of the caramel mixture in a decorative pattern.
- Pour the cake batter over the peaches, spreading it evenly to cover the fruit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the cake. Tap the bottom of the pan if necessary to help release the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool for another 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
