  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: cinnamon or nutmeg for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cast iron skillet generously with butter or non-stick spray. Arrange the sliced peaches evenly at the bottom of the skillet.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Pour into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just incorporated.
  4. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches. Optional: sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor.
  • Ensure the skillet is preheated adequately for even baking.
  • Avoid over-mixing the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; do not overbake to prevent dryness.
