Equipment

  • 1 Cast iron muffin tin This recipe is written for a cast iron muffin tin. If you have a standard muffin tin your yield might be smaller

Ingredients
  

Peaches

  • 3 Peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup Melted butter
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Optional

Cake

  • 1 ½ cups Cake flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp Cardamon
  • 1/8 tsp Ginger
  • Pinch of cloves
  • 1 stick Butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1 Whole egg
  • 1 Egg white
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 375°

Peaches

  • Spoon 1/2 tsp of the melted butter into each muffin tin
  • Add 1/2 tsp brown sugar into each muffin tin.
  • If using the cinnamon, mix it with the brown sugar before adding the brown sugar to the muffin tin.
  • Set aside

Cake

  • Sift together all of the dry ingredients and spices and set aside
  • With a mixer or blender, cream the butter for two minutes
  • Add the sugar and cream together for five minutes.
  • Add the egg and mix well.
  • Add the egg white and mix well.
  • Add the vanilla and mix well.
  • Add the sour cream and mix well.
  • Add half of the dry ingredients with the mixer running on low speed. With a few streaks of flour remaining, add the milk, then when the milk is almost mixed in, add the remaining dry ingredients. When just a few streaks of flour remain, turn off the mixer and use a spatula to gently fold any stray bits of flour into the batter. A few lumps are fine! Don't over-mix at this point.
  • Add two tablespoons batter over your peaches and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven onto a wire rack and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edges and flip onto a tray.
  • Move onto the wire rack to finish cooling.
  • This will take two batches to finish so after the flip just add your melted butter, brown sugar and peaches to 6 to 7 of your muffin tins add the batter and bake.
  • I think the cast iron muffin tin is a little smaller than the standard so you might need a little more batter or peaches and might only get 12 mini cakes.
  • They are great to serve with whipped cream or served warm with ice cream.
