Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, ripe but firm, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick wedges
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting, whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 1 tablespoon of melted butter into each of 6 muffin cups. Spread up the sides about halfway. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of packed brown sugar into each buttered cup.
  2. Arrange 2 to 3 peach slices in a single layer on top of the brown sugar in each cup.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula just until combined (a few lumps are fine).
  6. Divide batter evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups, spooning over the peaches. Each cup should be about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool in the pan for exactly 5 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edge of each cup. Place a large plate over the muffin tin and carefully flip. Lift the tin off slowly.
  9. Let cakes cool for another 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Let cakes cool in pan for exactly 5 minutes before flipping. Pat peaches dry if very juicy. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Can be made ahead by preparing muffin cups with butter, sugar, and peaches a few hours in advance.
