Print Recipe

A moist and fluffy cake topped with caramelized peaches, perfect for summer desserts or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
  • 2–3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Melt 1/4 cup butter in the pan and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over it.
  3. Arrange peach slices over the sugar in a decorative pattern.
  4. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla.
  7. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour.
  8. Pour batter over the peach layer and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe peaches for the best flavor, but canned peaches can be used in a pinch.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before flipping to prevent it from falling apart.
