"I got this from Alton Brown off of Good Eats on the Food Network. It's really easy to make and good with ice cream."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 4 cakes
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1⁄4 cup light brown sugar
• 2 medium peaches, peeled
• 1 ounce ginger (approx. 3 tbsp.)
• 2 1⁄2 ounces all-purpose flour (approx. 1/2 cup)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄3 cup granulated sugar
• 1⁄2 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Divide 2 tbsp of butter between 4 (6 ounce) ramekins. Melt the remaining tbsp of butter and set aside. Evenly divide the brown sugar between the ramekins; sprinkling it into the bottom of the dishes. Cut each peach into 12 to 14 pieces. Lay the peaches on top of the sugar, evenly dividing them between the dishes and sprinkle with ginger. Set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and the tbsp of melted butter.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until combine. Pour the batter over the peaches, dividing evenly between the dishes.
5. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet (for even baking) and place on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake reaches an internal temp of 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
6. Remove from the oven to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each dish and turn upside down on to a serving plate. Repeat with each cake. Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

This is so good and the perfect dessert for a dinner for 4. The butter was placed into the ramekins and warmed while the oven was preheating. Canned peaches were used and the cakes were garnished with whipped cream. Made for *PAC Spring 2009*
