Buttery and rich, this simple Peach Skillet Cake Recipe from Kellie at The Suburban Soapbox is a sweet way to showcase summer’s best fruit. Freshly sliced Harry & David Oregold Peaches are like icing on the cake in this easy to make recipe.
This is the moment I’ve been waiting for all summer long — the arrival of Harry & David Oregold Peaches! There’s nothing in the world quite like them, sweet and juicy. I can never get enough. And, as much as I love to eat them just as they are, they’re the star of many of my favorite recipes like this simple peach cake. This cake is such a showstopper; I can never resist making it several times a season.
The batter whips up easily in just a couple minutes, then it's poured into a skillet or baking dish before being adorned with a layer of freshly sliced peaches. Once this dessert is baked, I let it cool just a bit then serve it right in the skillet topped with eCreamery Sea Salt Caramel ice cream. It's a stunning display of summer flavors!
