Equipment
- 9x13” baking pan
- medium saucepan
- Medium mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- whisk
- measuring cups and spoons
- Trivet
- Oven mitts
Ingredients
- ½ c butter 1 stick, 4 oz
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 4 c fresh peaches peeled and sliced
- 1 c white (granulated) sugar
- ½ c water
- 1 ½ c all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 c light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 c whole milk
Instructions
- Place the butter in the 9x13" pan and place it in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350℉. The butter will melt as you complete the other steps. (Note: if you are a new baker and a little bit slow, wait to do this until after you've mixed up the batter, as the butter may get too hot and over-brown. It's better to wait a bit while the butter melts than scorch it!)½ c butter
- Mix together your spices with a fork in a small bowl.1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp ground nutmeg, ¼ tsp ground cloves
- In a medium saucepan, combine peaches, white sugar, water, and about half of the spice mixture.4 c fresh peaches, 1 c white (granulated) sugar, ½ c water
- Heat to boiling stirring continuously, then turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the peaches are simmering, whisk together the rest of the spice mixture, flour, baking powder, salt, and light brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Make sure to get rid of any lumps from the brown sugar.1 ½ c all-purpose flour, 1 ¾ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, 1 c light brown sugar
- Slowly stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and there are no pockets of flour.1 c whole milk
- When the peaches are done simmering, turn off the heat and set them on a cold burner.
- Get your pan out of the oven (the butter should be melted) and set it on a trivet, or on top of your stove.
- Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter. DO NOT mix them together. You may use a rubber spatula to gently push batter over any holes or towards any empty corners. The melted butter will swirl around the batter - that's what you want!
- Spoon the peaches and their syrup over the batter.
- Bake at 350℉ for 30 minutes, or until a fork inserted into the cake part (not a peach!) comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes before serving with a generous helping of vanilla ice cream.
