Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams light brown sugar
- 3 medium ripe peaches
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters whole milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a small saucepan, melt 55 grams of the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture is bubbling, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan.
Slice the peaches into thin wedges. Arrange them decoratively over the brown sugar mixture in the cake pan. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the remaining 60 grams of butter and the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture and milk in three batches, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
Gently pour the batter over the peaches in the cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife along the edges to loosen the sides.
Place a large serving plate or cake stand upside down over the pan, then carefully flip them over to release the cake onto the plate. Peel off the parchment paper if it sticks to the top.
Allow the cake to cool for an additional 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence!
