A dear friend from the South gave me the idea for this peachy cake. I add bourbon and top each slice with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. —Trista Jefferson, Batavia, Ohio

Ingredients

2 cups sliced peeled peaches or frozen unsweetened sliced peaches, thawed
2 tablespoons bourbon, optional
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
BATTER:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. If desired, combine peaches and bourbon; let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place 1/4 cup butter in a 10-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet; heat in oven until butter is melted, 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange peach slices over brown sugar.
For batter, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating after each addition just until combined. Spread batter evenly over peaches.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

I made this recipe exactly as written (with the bourbon), and it was AMAZING! The bourbon was subtle enough that the kids still liked it, but also pronounced enough that the adults appreciated that the flavor was there. This is definitely a keeper.
