Desserts

Why Make This Recipe

Peach Upside-Down Cake is a classic dessert that brings a taste of summer to your table. This lovely cake showcases the sweet, juicy flavor of peaches and the gooey caramel topping made from brown sugar and butter. It’s perfect for gatherings, family dinners, or just a sweet treat at home. Plus, it’s easy to make and looks impressive when you invert it onto a serving plate!

How to Make Peach Upside-Down Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds sliced yellow cling peaches (canned)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (light brown preferred)
12 maraschino cherries
1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1 egg

Directions:

Start by draining the peaches and placing them on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Spray a cast iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray. If you don’t have a skillet, a cake pan will work too, but the skillet is best.
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet over low heat.
Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter evenly.
Arrange the peach slices on top of the brown sugar, followed by placing the maraschino cherries in between the peach slices.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Stir together the remaining melted butter, milk, and vanilla in another bowl.
Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and beat on low speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
Add the egg and beat for an additional minute.
Carefully spoon the batter over the arranged peaches and cherries.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350℉ for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the cake reaches 200℉ on an instant read thermometer.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to stand in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully turn the cake out onto a plate and serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to Serve Peach Upside-Down Cake

Peach Upside-Down Cake is best served warm. You can slice it into wedges and pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The ice cream melts slightly into the warm cake, creating a delicious combination that you won’t want to miss!

How to Store Peach Upside-Down Cake

To store leftover Peach Upside-Down Cake, cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. You can keep it at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to store it for a longer period, keep it in the refrigerator where it will last for about a week. Make sure to warm it slightly in the microwave before serving again for the best taste.

Tips to Make Peach Upside-Down Cake

Make sure to drain the peaches well so that your cake doesn’t become soggy.
Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done; it should come out clean when inserted into the center.
For a festive touch, you can sprinkle some cinnamon on the peaches before adding the batter.

Variation

You can easily switch out the peaches for other fruits, like pineapples or cherries, to make this cake your own. Just follow the same steps for arranging the fruit in the skillet.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh peaches! Just slice them and make sure they are ripe and juicy.
Can I freeze the Peach Upside-Down Cake?
Yes, you can freeze the cake! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container. Defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 200℉, or when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
