Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In the baking dish, arrange your quartered peaches evenly. Sprinkle brown sugar and dot with cubed salted butter. Drizzle vanilla extract over peaches. Bake for about 30 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, egg, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth. Slowly add flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, stirring gently.
Once peaches are bubbling, pour the cake batter over them without stirring. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the batter and return to the oven. Bake for another 30-40 minutes.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature, topped with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Consider browning the butter for a deeper flavor. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender and fluffy. Let it cool before serving for the best texture.
