Ingredients

Scale

3 ripe peaches, sliced
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

You can substitute the whole milk with almond or oat milk if you prefer a dairy-free version. You can also replace the brown sugar with coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a muffin tin to ensure the cakes come out easily.

Step 2: Pour the melted butter evenly into the bottoms of 6 muffin cups. Then, sprinkle each cup with brown sugar. Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern over the sugar.

Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4: In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the cake light and airy.

Step 6: Spoon the batter evenly over the peach slices in the muffin tin, ensuring the fruit is completely covered.

Step 7: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8: Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake and invert them onto a baking sheet. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor.
If fresh peaches aren’t in season, you can use canned peaches (drained and patted dry).
Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before inverting them to prevent them from breaking apart.
You can drizzle extra caramel sauce over the cakes for an added treat.
