A delightful dessert showcasing luscious caramelized peaches and fluffy cake, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–5 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
