Description
A delightful treat that combines the rich flavor of brown butter with the sweetness of fresh peaches, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115 g)
- 3 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (100 g), packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and cook until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and slightly cooled brown butter. Mix until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the sliced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or a plant-based butter.
- For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips for variations.
