Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup Light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 medium Peaches, peeled and sliced
For the Topping
  • 2 Tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar

Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Arrange the sliced peaches over the top of the batter.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for the topping. Drizzle this mixture over the peaches.
  9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
