Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large fresh peaches
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 120 milliliters milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 50 grams light brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan or an equivalent dish.
Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4-inch thick. Set them aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture, followed by the milk, and mix until combined. Don’t worry if it looks slightly lumpy at this stage.
Gradually fold in the dry ingredients from the medium bowl, mixing just until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Arrange the peach slices on top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the surface. Distribute them evenly to cover the batter completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the peaches.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the buckle to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
