Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177° C). Spray muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cut 1 tablespoon of butter into 12 equal parts. Place each butter piece in 12 muffin cups.
• Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of brown sugar into each muffin cup.
• Slice 1-2 peaches into thin slices. Arrange about 3 slices into the bottom of each muffin pan.
• Cut the remaining peaches into small cubes. Set aside about 1 cup of cubed peaches.
• In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until fluffy and creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Add egg and vanilla extract, beat for another 2-3 minutes until well combined.
• Add half of the flour mixture and beat for 1 minute on low speed.
• Stir in the buttermilk and beat for another minute.
• Add the remaining flour mixture and beat just until combined. Fold in the cubed peaches.
• Divide the batter into 12 muffin pan cups.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool the cakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and turn the pan upside down to release the cakes.
• Serve the mini cakes warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
