Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In each muffin cup, place 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of melted butter. Stir gently to create a caramel-like mixture, then arrange fresh peach slices neatly on top.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later use.
  4. In a large bowl, cream the remaining melted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fill each muffin cup with the prepared batter, about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Allow the mini cakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack to release the cakes.
