Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative like oat milk)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean pod, split and scraped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small saucepan, gently warm honey and melted butter over low heat until combined and fragrant (about 2 minutes). Stir in lemon juice. Pour mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch cake pan.
  2. Arrange peach slices neatly over the honey-butter mixture in the pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  6. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix gently and fold with a spatula to keep batter light.
  7. Pour batter evenly over arranged peaches and smooth the top gently.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and edges are golden brown.
  9. Cool cake in pan for about 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges and carefully invert onto a serving plate.
  10. While cake cools, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla bean seeds until soft peaks form.
  11. Serve cake slices topped with a generous dollop of vanilla bean cream.

Notes

Warm honey and butter gently to avoid bitterness. Peel peaches for better texture. Avoid overmixing batter to keep cake tender. Let cake cool slightly before inverting to prevent sticking. Chill bowl and beaters for easier cream whipping. If peaches are underripe, sprinkle a pinch of sugar before baking. Watch cake closely in last 10 minutes to prevent burning.
