How to Make Peach Buckle

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 2-quart casserole dish.
  3. Make the cake layer: In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
  7. Make the filling: In a large bowl, gently combine 6 cups peeled and sliced fresh peaches, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup boiling water.
  8. Pour the peach filling over the cake batter in the casserole dish.
  9. Dot the top with 1 tablespoon of butter.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
