Ingredients

Scale

Topping

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 ripe fresh peaches, thinly sliced

Cake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup milk or buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Topping: Melt the butter and brown sugar together in a pan until the mixture is smooth and bubbling. Pour this caramel mixture evenly into the bottom of your mini cake tins. Arrange the thin peach slices carefully on top of the caramel to create an attractive base for the cakes.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, mixing just until combined to ensure a tender cake.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Spoon the batter gently over the peach and caramel layer in each mini cake pan, filling almost to the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Invert: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges carefully, then invert each cake onto a serving plate so the caramelized peach topping is showcased. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for the richest caramel flavor and best texture.
  • Generously butter the pans to prevent sticking and ensure easy release.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to keep the cakes light and tender, avoiding overmixing.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cakes cool slightly before inverting to preserve the delicate caramel topping.
