Ingredients
1 ¾ cup Brown Sugar
1 ½ + ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, divided
7 small peaches, peeled and sliced
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract, divided
⅓ cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray 2 pans of 6, jumbo muffin pans with cooking spray. Line each bottom cup with a piece of parchment paper cut into a circle to fit well in the pan. Set aside the pans.
- Place your mixer bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer until you are ready to whip the cream.
- Skin and slice small peaches.
- In a microwaveable bowl, melt the 1/2 cup of butter. Add in 1 3/4 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and set caramel mixture aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, hand whisk together the following dry ingredients: 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 2 cups sugar.
- In another medium bowl, whisk together the following wet ingredients: 3 large eggs, 1 cup oil, 1 cup sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the caramel mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
- Divide and spoon the peaches equally into each of the cups with the caramel mixture.
- With a large ice cream scoop, scoop the batter equally into each pan. The batter will be about 3/4 of the way full—maybe even a bit more.
- Place both pans onto a baking sheet, as the caramel may ooze out of the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan. Bake for another 15 to 18 minutes.
- While the cakes are baking, mix together the cinnamon whipped cream by beating together 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside.
- In your chilled bowl with the chilled whisk attachment, beat the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the cream cheese mixture and mix until blended. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve on the warm cakes.
- When the cakes have finished baking, cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack with a pan underneath to catch the caramel drippings.
- Top the cakes with whipped cream and serve the cakes warm. Enjoy!
