Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • PEACHES:
  • 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 cups sliced peeled fresh peaches
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, vanilla extract and almond extract. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Pour batter into a greased 9-in. springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together brown sugar and butter to form a wet paste. Stir in peaches. Spoon peach mixture evenly over top of cake batter.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove sides of springform pan. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
