Description
A nostalgic, tender yellow cake with a golden caramelized peach topping, capturing the essence of summer. Simple and elegant, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
3 ripe peaches, sliced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round pan with butter and dust with flour.
Arrange peach slices cut-side down in the pan. In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat to make a caramel syrup. Pour over peaches.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, remaining sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Pour the batter over the peaches.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely, then invert onto a serving plate.
Notes
Do not peel peaches if skins are thin; they add subtle flavor to the syrup. Use room-temperature eggs for better emulsification. Ensure the pan is evenly greased for clean inversion.
