Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 0.5 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 cups sliced peaches from 5-6 ripe peaches, peeled and cored
  • 0.33 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1.5 tablespoons turbinado sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping optional, for serving
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream optional, for serving

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray. (You could also use a 9x13-inch baking dish.)
Batter
  1. In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and milk. Slowly whisk in the melted butter. Pour the batter into the skillet.
Peach Mixture
  1. Add the sliced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon to a saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine, simmering for 2-3 minutes until sugar is dissolved and peaches are softened slightly. Add the peach mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  2. Bake for 45 minutes. (Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place it on the bottom of the oven to catch any drips.)
Sugar Topping
  1. After 45 minutes, sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the top and return to oven. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. Serve topped with ice cream or whipped topping.

Notes

This peach skillet cake is perfect for summer gatherings and can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped topping.
