Ingredients
Caramel Rum Sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Spiced Rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups peaches, fresh and sliced
Buttermilk Cake
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Buttermilk Cake Batter
- In a medium mixing bow, stir together the soft butter and the brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the remaining ingredients of flour, buttermilk, an egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda. Stir until they are combined. Set the bowl with the cake batter aside. The batter may be slightly lumpy.
Caramel Rum Sauce
- In a 10" cast iron skillet, add the butter, brown sugar, spiced rum, cinnamon, and vanilla.
- Place the skillet directly over the heat source (coals or flame). As the butter begins to melt, whisk the ingredients together until they begin to simmer and turn into a brown, bubbly, caramel sauce.
- Remove the Caramel Rum Sauce from the heat source and carfully stir in the fresh peach slices.
- Next, pour the cake batter over the top. Do not stir.
- Cook on indirect heat with the lid closed, aiming for 350 degrees (NOT OVER THE COALS OR FLAMES) for 30-40 minutes until the center of the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream if desired.
