Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup, plus extra for greasing
- Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup, packed
- Peaches
- 2, sliced
- Mango
- 1, sliced
- All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup
- Milk
- 1/2 cup
- Egg
- 1, large
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- Baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter.
- In the prepared cake pan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the packed brown sugar until fully combined and bubbly.
- Carefully arrange the sliced peaches and mangoes in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture, creating a beautiful pattern.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and the softened butter (1/2 cup) until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter over the fruit in the cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. The fruit should be beautifully displayed on top.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter or sprinkle on top of the fruit before pouring the batter.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruits like pineapple or cherries for a delicious twist!
