Ingredients

  • 1 8.5-ounce box of cornbread mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 peaches
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Whipped cream, for serving

Yield

Serves: 6 to 8 servings

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Place the cornbread mix into a large mixing bowl. Add the egg, milk and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Set aside.

Remove the pits from the peaches and then cut each peach into 8 slices. Place the peaches in a circular pattern into the bottom of the flour-dusted pan. Sprinkle with the sugar and then pour the cornbread batter over the top.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean with inserted into the middle of the cake.

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a cake plate. Slice and serve with whipped cream.
