Description

A delicious dessert featuring rich browned butter, juicy peaches, and a glossy caramel top that warms any kitchen.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) + 2 T 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 T honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9” round cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Combine 1/2 cup of brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth, then pour hot caramel into the prepared pan and arrange peach slices on top.
  3. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in another saucepan, swirling until browned, then set aside.
  4. Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, remaining brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  5. Combine eggs, yogurt, milk, and vanilla in a large measuring cup; add to the flour mixture and whisk to blend.
  6. Pour the browned butter into the batter and whisk until emulsified.
  7. Spread the batter over the peaches and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for about 35–40 minutes until edges are golden brown and center is set.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then flip it onto a plate.
  10. Whip the cream with honey until soft peaks form for topping.

Notes

Use unsalted butter for better control of salt levels in the cake. Fresh, ripe peaches are recommended; if unavailable, use other stone fruits.
