Recipe type: MEDIUM
Makes: One 8" Loaf
Ingredients
  • For the Topping:
  • Melted Butter, ⅓ cup
  • Brown Sugar, ¼ cup
  • Canned Peach Halves, 8-10 pieces
  • Cinnamon Powder, ¼ teaspoon
  • For the Cake:
  • All Purpose Flour (maida), 2 cups or 250 grams approx.
  • Baking Powder, 1
  • Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon
  • Softened Butter, ½ cup or 100 grams approx.
  • Caster Sugar, ¾ cup or 150 grams approx.
  • Buttermilk (or yogurt), ½ cup or 120ml
  • Good Quality Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon
  • Milk, ½ cup or 120ml
Method
  1. Slice the peach halves into equal sized pieces. Set aside to be used later.
  2. Pour the melted butter on the base of a 8" loaf cake tin. Cover the sides of the tin with the melted butter to make sure that the cake doesn't stick. Spread the remaining butter evenly on the base of the tin.
  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon powder on the base over the melted butter. Mix them slightly. It may look like there's a lot of butter but it's normal.
  4. Start placing peach slices all over the butter base and on the sides of the tin so that the entire cake tin is covered in them. Make sure the slices are of equal width so they cook evenly. Keep them slightly thick about ⅛th of an inch.
  5. Set it aside while you move onto making your cake batter. I used my Vanilla Sponge Cake recipe for the base, please read the recipe here.
  6. Prepare the cake batter according to the recipe. Once it is ready, pour it over peaches and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  7. When the cake is baked, loosen the sides carefully using a knife and let it cool down for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cake platter or a large plate. This step requires a lot of patience, so please do not hurry. If you flip it without waiting, you may end up in a situation where your peach slices may stick to the pan. Don't worry if that happens, just stick them on top pf the cake and no one will notice ;)
  8. Let the cake cool down completely and enjoy with tea or coffee!
