Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch square baking pan or a round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped peaches.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake is baking, prepare the topping by mixing the brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the brown sugar mixture over the top. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
  8. Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh or frozen peaches depending on availability.
  • Let the cake cool for a bit before serving to allow the topping to set.
  • Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
