For topping:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) unsalted butter, cold
- 6 teaspoons (5 g) light brown sugar
For cake batter:
- 3 fresh peaches (Note 1)
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup (130 g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature (Note 2)
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the topping: Cut cold butter into 12 parts and place a piece in each muffin cup. Sprinkle brown sugar in each cup and arrange peach slices over the sugar.
- Make the cake batter: Cube remaining peaches. Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat butter and sugar, add egg and vanilla, mix in flour, and buttermilk. Fold in cubed peaches.
- Bake: Divide batter into 12 cups and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool, then invert pan to release cakes.
- Serve: Enjoy warm cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Cold butter is easier to cut for the topping.
- Curdling in the batter after adding egg is normal; keep mixing for a fluffy texture.
- Use a large cookie scoop for easy batter division into muffin cups.
