Ingredients Ingredient Checklist 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for skillet 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 pounds peaches, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Cook’s Notes Instead of using a cast-iron skillet, you can make the buckle in a 9-inch square baking pan or in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Serve straight from the pan. Variations Fresh blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries make a nice addition to this cake. Simply replace 1 cup of cut-up peaches with 1 cup whole berries.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for skillet 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 pounds peaches, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/3 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, 9-inch square baking pan, or 2-quart shallow baking dish. In a large bowl, cream butter and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and vanilla; beat to combine.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat until incorporated. Fold in peaches.

Spread batter in prepared skillet. In a small bowl, mix together remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and almonds. Sprinkle mixture over top; bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and topping is golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes before serving.

Cook’s Notes Instead of using a cast-iron skillet, you can make the buckle in a 9-inch square baking pan or in a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Serve straight from the pan.

Variations Fresh blackberries, raspberries, or blueberries make a nice addition to this cake. Simply replace 1 cup of cut-up peaches with 1 cup whole berries.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 1.0 stars       11/24/2019   Question: Can this be made without the almond topping? Do you have a suggestion for another topping that does not include nuts? I look forward to your response so I can try making this recipe. Thanks, Gee  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/19/2019   It was a hit with the family. Differences I made were I used 3 table spoon less sugar for the batter and I used canned peaches that I drained off the syrupy.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/13/2018   I made this twice in a cast iron pan. Both times it was a big hit and eaten quickly. If peaches aren't quite ripe, sprinkle with a little bit of sugar and let it sit for a few minutes. It is very versatile. The first time I added lots of blueberrie, second time cherries that I pitted, of course. For the topping, I didn't have almonds, so I used pecans and brown sugar instead of white.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/17/2017   Really terrific! Used southern peaches in season and some fresh red cherries that I pitted & halved, which made it really colorful. Served small scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, tho cake is very moist on it's own Don't cover the dish before serving or the top will lose its crispiness.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/02/2016   I made this using canned peaches that was about to get expired soon. Didn't expect it to turn out good, but it exceeded my expectations- it was amazing. I'm definitely making this again as my family loves it so much. Thank you Martha for the recipe!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/20/2015   This recipe is easy and quick. I have made this three times and each time there was nothing left--not even a crumb. Enjoy

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/07/2014   This is such a great simple recipe -- really like the topping -- I agree that it is really good for breakfast. Thanks!!!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/11/2013   This recipe actually appears on page 38 of the July/August 2004 issue, not the November 2003 issue as noted. It's excellent, as well as easy to make.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 3 stars       08/10/2013   A very tasty and fruity dessert. Not sure how I would describe the cake portion of this, a bit denser than you might think. I think mine was closer to a bread pudding with all the fruit adding so much moisture. The topping was a wonderful contrast.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/14/2013   Very tasty recipe and easy to make even for a newbie like me!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/07/2010   So easy and excellent with some whipped heavy cream :)  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/07/2010   I just pulled this out of the oven. It is fabulous. The consistency is somewhere between cake and custard and the flavor of the peaches really shines through. Thanks for the recipe!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/21/2008   Wonderful dessert. It reminded me of bread pudding. I did half the recipe so maybe that was why. I only had peaches and it turned out great. It was very good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/04/2008   Made this several times and it's always a hit. Not too sweet and very moist. a nice end to a good meal. JoAnn1945  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/02/2008   Wow!. This was really great. I added 1/2 c. frozen blackberries along with the peaches (because I didn't have as many peaches as I had thought), but I'm sure the peaches alone would have been fantastic.
