500gFresh ripe peachesabout 3-4, pitted, peeled (optional and sliced)
Glaze:
100gPowdered sugar
1-2tbspWhole milk
Instructions
Crumble topping:
Combine the flour, dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
Carefully melt the butter in the microwave or on low heat on the stovetop. Add it to the dry ingredients and mix well, using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon. Set aside.
Cake batter:
Wash and pit the peaches. If you are not a fan of the peel, feel free to peel them. Then, cut them into half-inch slices.
Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
Grease a 12-inch (30cm) cast iron skillet. If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can use a 9-13 inch (23-33cm) casserole dish.
Mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
Add the softened butter and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl; with a hand mixer, cream together until smooth.
Then beat in the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Take the flour you measured out before and add it to the mixture. Incorporate well but don’t mix for too long. The batter will be pretty stiff.
Add the batter to the prepared cast iron skillet and smooth it out evenly.
Then arrange the sliced peaches on top of it in a single layer.
Take the crumble topping mixture and evenly add it on top of the peaches.
Place the skillet into the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. It will be ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean without any raw batter on it.
Let it cool for at least an hour.
Glaze:
Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until a thick glaze forms. If you like a thinner glaze, add more milk; if you like it thicker, add some more powdered sugar.
Use a fork or a small whisk to drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Use ripe peaches!! The flavor is so much better!This is a moist cake, don’t overbake it and get confused when you insert the toothpick to check if it’s done. The toothpick might come out wet, but you are good to go, as long as no raw batter is sticking to it.Take leftovers out of the skillet, place them into an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
