Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds firm ripe peaches, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk or 3/4 cup whole milk whisked with 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
[For Serving:] Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the caramel and fruit: Stir the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water together in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet to make a mixture like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat until melted and light amber, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt if making a salted caramel. Arrange the peaches, cut-side down, on top. Drizzle the bourbon over the fruit.
  • For the batter: Whisk together the flour, pecans, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat together the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, stirring until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter over the fruit and spread evenly. Bake until golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes and then invert onto a platter. Cool to room temperature before serving. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream if using.
