For the Cake Batter



For the Peaches



Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar together. Whisk until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.
Next, add in the vegetable oil and milk, mixing until smooth. Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder, stirring until just combined to form a smooth batter.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter with the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns into a light caramel.
Once caramelized, add the fresh peaches cut into slices, stirring gently to coat them in the caramel. Let the peaches cook for about 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Step 3
After the peaches are ready, pour the prepared cake batter over the peaches in the skillet. Spread it evenly, ensuring it covers the peaches.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the cake is set in the center. Check occasionally to ensure it doesn't burn.
Step 4
Once cooked, carefully remove the lid and allow the cake to cool for a few minutes. Then, invert the skillet onto a serving plate to reveal the caramelized peaches on top.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your deliciously quick peach skillet cake!

Use medium-sized bowls for mixing the batter and caramelizing the peaches. Consider a glass bowl to easily see the mixing process.
A silicone spatula is ideal for gently mixing your ingredients without scratching your cookware.



Accurate measurements are key, especially for baking. Utilize a set of dry and liquid measuring cups.
