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
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, in a small bowl, combine peaches and bourbon; toss to coat. Let stand 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, place 1/4 cup butter in a 10-in. ovenproof skillet; heat in oven 5-7 minutes or until butter is melted. 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 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.
