Description
A simple recipe for a moist cake topped with sweet peaches, resembling a cobbler.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups sliced fresh or canned peaches (drained if canned)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- In a small bowl, toss the sliced peaches with the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Arrange the sugared peach slices evenly over the top of the cake batter.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you use canned peaches, drain them well before tossing with sugar and cinnamon.
- You can substitute fresh lemon juice for vanilla extract for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
