Peach Cobbler Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper.

2. Make the Crumble. In a large bowl, add all ingredients for crumble. Use your hands to rub the butter into the ingredients until the mixture is in pea sized clumps. Dump the crumble onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in oven for 12 minutes, stirring a few times throughout the baking process to evenly toast the crumble. Remove from the oven and stir to break apart the crumble. Allow to fully cool. Break apart the crumble more once it is completely cooled.

3. Peel the peaches. Slice 2 of the peaches into thin slices. Slice the remaining 2 peaches into bite size pieces. Add the peaches to a bowl, along with the ½ teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Toss to combine.

4. Place the sliced peaches in the bottom of the prepared 9-inch pan. Set aside while you make the caramel.

5. Make the caramel. Add the sugar and water to a small saucepan. Over medium high heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to medium and allow to cook until amber in color. Swirl the pan, then continue to cook until light golden brown in color. Remove from the heat and immediately pour over the sliced peaches in the cake pan. Set aside while you make the cake batter.

6. Make the cake batter. In a large bowl, add the butter, milk mixture, sour cream, sugars, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Add in the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon (optional) and flour. Stir just until combined.

7. Pour half of the mixture over the caramel peach layer. Sprinkle the chopped peaches over the batter, then sprinkle the crumble over the peaches. Pour the remaining cake batter over top. Use a spatula to smooth the batter over the peach/crumble mixture.

8. Bake in preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 30 minutes in the cake pan. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cake. Place a plate or board on top of the cake pan. Flip it over. Lift the cake pan up to remove the cake from the pan. Serve and enjoy!
