Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium ripe peaches
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and slice them into thin wedges. Toss the peach slices with 50 grams of the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside to macerate while preparing the batter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 100 grams of granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Arrange the macerated peaches on top of the batter, including all the juices from the bowl.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the juices settle.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
