• 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 4 large peaches (pitted and cut into 1/2 inch slices)

• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the caramel: Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter, brown sugar, and bourbon over medium heat. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil for 1 minute then turn off the heat.

2. 2

   Arrange the peach slices: Carefully arrange the peach slices with one of the cut sides down in the hot caramel, keep in mind this will become the top of the cake so feel free to make it look as professional as you can manage.

3. 3

   Incorporate the ingredients: In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate large bowl whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredient bowl until just combined.

4. 4

   Do not overmix. Pour this batter over the peach layer till it spreads evenly and covers the entire surface of the skillet.

5. 5

   Bake the cake: Bake for 30 - 35 minutes until the top is brown. Insert a toothpick in the centre of the cake and if it comes out clean the cake is done! Let the cake cool for 5 minutes in the skillet.

6. 6

   Flip the cake: Carefully invert your cake onto a platter, cut into slices and serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Delicious!
