This old-fashioned American cake is baked in a cast-iron skillet. Peaches give the cake a moist texture; the almond topping makes it crunchy

Directions

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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
