Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Peaches
  • 3 large peaches pitted and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared skillet.
  7. Arrange the sliced peaches over the batter. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture over the peaches.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the peaches are tender.
  9. Let the cake cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
