Gold Medal Flour

Ingredients

1

tablespoon butter
2

tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2

cups sliced fresh peaches (3 to 4 medium)
1/2

cup granulated sugar
1/3

cup milk, at room temperature
1/3

cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2

teaspoons vanilla
1

egg, at room temperature
1

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1

teaspoon baking powder
1/4

teaspoon salt

Steps

1

Heat charcoal grill. Grease bottom only of 8-inch square pan with butter (discard any unused butter). Sprinkle brown sugar evenly in bottom of pan. Arrange peaches in single layer over brown sugar.
2

In large bowl, stir together granulated sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and egg until sugar is completely dissolved. Beat in flour, baking powder and salt until well blended.
3

Pour batter over peaches in pan, covering peaches completely and smoothing batter with spatula or back of spoon.
4

Fill 8-inch square foil pan halfway with water. Place in bottom of grill; arrange hot coals around pan. Place grill rack on grill. Place cake pan on rack directly over pan of water. This will allow cake to cook evenly over indirect heat.
5

Cover grill, leaving vents open. Bake cake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 45 minutes.
6

Run thin knife around edges of pan to loosen cake. Place serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan.

Don’t have a charcoal grill? Bake the cake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Are fresh peaches being elusive? Use thawed frozen peach slices instead of fresh.
