For the Cake
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs

Equipment

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter your 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork 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.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the peaches.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  10. Let the cake cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
