This is the BEST homemade peach upside-down cake. It’s made from a moist vanilla cake base that’s baked on top of sweet, juicy peaches. This is an easy-to-follow recipe, even for those that are new to baking!
There’s a lot of things I love about the South. Especially southern food. Especially, especially peaches. Have you ever had a fresh Georgia peach? Oh my goodness are they amazing.
Once summer hits, I think about all the recipes I’ll be making with peaches (My peach mousse cake is definitely on the list every summer). And then I bring my haul home. I seriously purchase peaches in bulk. My fridge is always filled with peaches in the summer. You think I’m exaggerating. Oh but I’m not.
One summer, I decided to make a peach upside-down cake. We love a great pineapple upside-down cake in this house, and I wanted to switch things up. And you know what? I never looked back. This peach upside-down cake is the real deal. It’s flavorful, fluffy, moist, and full of juicy peach flavor.
What Is An Upside Down Cake Anyway?
An upside-down cake is simply a cake that is baked with the “toppings” on the bottom of the pan and the cake batter on top. It is prepared and baked and then flipped over before serving. So those toppings that disappeared under the batter are beautifully sitting on top now.
How To Flip An Upside Down Cake
I get that people are intimidated to flip an upside-down cake.
What if the ingredients get stuck to the bottom of the pan?
What if the cake falls apart?
What if it’s a total mess?
Breathe.
Here’s how you flip it.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Put a plate over your cake pan and, using both hands, flip. Now the plate should be on the bottom and the cake pan on top (but upside down)
- Carefully lift up the cake pan and your cake should slip right out!
Voila!
I hope you make and enjoy this peach upside-down cake. I know it’s a favorite in our home!
