Ingredients
Scale
- 4 yellow peaches
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot honey
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt
- 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) flour
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3 ml) cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) nutmeg
- 1 room temperature stick of butter
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) vinegar
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F.
- Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- Remove the cores from the peaches and slice them, placing the slices in a small bowl. Pour honey, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes over them and let them sit while you make the cake batter.
- In a medium bowl, combine salt, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Using a stand mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is airy and light. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then reduce the speed to low and add the eggs one by one, mixing after each addition. Turn the mixer back to medium and continue beating for another 2 minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Add the milk, which has been mixed with vinegar, and stir on low speed until just blended, which should take about 20 seconds. The mixture might look slightly separated at this point.
- Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix on low speed until smooth and fully incorporated, which should take around 20 seconds. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture to ensure it’s completely mixed.
- Arrange the peach slices at the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour any leftover honey mixture over the peaches.
- Pour the cake batter into the pan, covering the peaches and their juices, smoothing the top to make an even layer. It’s fine if some juices are visible at the sides.
- Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or the cake springs back when lightly pressed.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Carefully turn the cake onto a serving plate.
- Serve the warm cake slices with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Let peaches sit in honey, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes for at least 15 minutes.
- Make sure butter is at room temperature for a light texture when creamed.
- Combine milk and vinegar 5 minutes before use to replicate buttermilk.
