Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup (150g) light brown sugar, packed
- 3 medium peaches, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges (about 300g)
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup (180ml) sour cream
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Pour the melted butter directly into an 8-inch skillet or cake pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter, using a spatula to press it into a flat layer.
- Nestle the peach slices into the sugar mixture in a concentric circle pattern. Drizzle the vanilla and cinnamon over the fruit.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until no clumps remain.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and egg until light and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is velvety.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- Carefully spoon the batter over the peaches, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure it reaches the edges of the pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge, place a serving plate upside down over the pan, and flip decisively.
