Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 5 large peaches, pealed and cut into slice (pits removed and discarded)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup peach schnapps
  • 1 and ½ cups cake flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Brush an 8 x 11 inch cake pan with the 1 tbsp olive oil. Remove excess oil with a paper towel. Arrange the peaches in rows in the pan. Top the peaches evenly with the brown sugar.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients: the vegetable oil, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, and peach schnapps. Whisk until all is combined.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon together.
  5. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until all is combined to make the peach cake batter.
  6. Pour the batter over the peaches and gently spread the batter to be sure all of the peaches are covered.
  7. Bake on 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. If you’re using as a cobbler you can spoon out the cake from the pan and serve. If you’re wanting the upside-down version of the cake, place a platter (same shape as the cake pan) on top of the pan and turn completely over. Be careful as the pan and cake may still be hot (use your oven mitts and/or hot pads!). Remove the cake pan. Cut the cake into 12 servings.
