Description

A warm, caramel-kissed summer dessert that pairs nutty browned butter with juicy peaches.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) + 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, divided
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp honey


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9” round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Combine 1/2 cup of the brown sugar with 2 tbsp of butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and tilt to cover the bottom; arrange peach slices on top.
  3. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling it until it begins to foam and brown.
  4. Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, remaining brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  5. Mix the eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla in a large measuring cup, then add to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined.
  6. Pour the melted butter into the batter and whisk until emulsified, taking care not to overmix.
  7. Spread batter over peach slices and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and set.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a plate to serve warm.
  9. Whip the cream with honey until soft peaks form for serving.

Notes

Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. Use ripe, but firm peaches for best results.
