Tennessee Peach Pudding

is a warm, comforting dessert with a beautifully soft, spongy texture that captures the juicy essence of fresh peaches. Not overly sweet, it combines a cake-like base with a gooey, caramel-like sauce created as it bakes. The peaches lend a delightful natural sweetness and juicy burst to every bite

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls 
  • Whisk or hand mixer
  • - Baking dish (8x8 inches)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • **For the Batter:**
  • - 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • - 1 tsp baking powder
  • - ¼ tsp salt
  • - ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • - ½ cup milk
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 1 cup sliced fresh or canned peaches drained if canned
  • - **For the Topping:**
  • - ¾ cup brown sugar
  • - 1 cup hot water
  • - 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions
 

  • **Prepare the Batter**: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the peach slices.
  • **Assemble the Pudding**: Pour the batter into a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, hot water, and melted butter for the topping. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter without stirring.
  • **Bake**: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The pudding will have a layer of sauce at the bottom.
  • **Serve**: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Spoon out portions, making sure to include some of the sauce from the bottom. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
