1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
4-6 ripe peaches, skinned, pitted and cut into 6-8 wedges
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash cardamom
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray. Pour melted butter into the bottom of the dish. In a medium bowl, blend granulated sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly stir milk into the dry mixture with a whisk, stirring all the while to avoid lumps. Mix in vanilla. Pour batter over melted butter in baking dish. In a separate bowl, gently toss peaches with brown sugar and spices. Lay peaches over top of batter, doubling the layer of peaches if necessary.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and beginning to pull away from sides of dish. Serve warm with whipped cream, vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream ... or plain!
