Sarah here from Feeding Your Fam to bring you this super simple recipe for Peach Upside Down Cake. Fresh peaches are one of my favorite fruits, I absolutely look forward to summer peach season every year! This Peach Upside Down Cake is one of my favorite cakes to make when those peaches are in season. This cake is delicious on its own, or serve with a dollop of whipped cream or even vanilla ice cream.

How to tell when peaches are ripe

To make this peach cake recipe, you want to make sure your peaches are ripe. This will make them super sweet and so much easier to slice. When looking for peaches make sure you are buying yellow peaches, not white, they can be easy to mix up if you aren’t paying attention.

To tell if the peach is ripe, simply press your thumb on the peach. If the flesh indents easily you know that peach is perfect for slicing and baking, or even just eating!!! If the peach is hard like a baseball, pass on that one, unless you are not making this cake for a few days to give the peach more time to ripen.

Ingredients in Peach Cake

Here’s what you will need to make this simple Peach Cake Recipe:

• 1 French Vanilla Cake Mix
  • water
  • oil
  • eggs
• 2-3 peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon

How to make Upside Down Cake

Make cake mix according to package instructions and set aside. Peel ripe peaches and thinly slice into small pieces.

Combine the softened butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Prepare a 10 inch round springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and spraying with cooking spray.

Using a spatula, spread the butter mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan, pressing it all the way to the edges.

Place an even layer of peeled, sliced peaches on top of the butter mixture. Make sure to place the peaches in one single layer along the bottom of the pan.

Lastly, pour the prepared cake mix over the brown sugar and peaches, making sure to cover them completely.

Place the cake in a 350ºF oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Run a knife around the edges to make sure the cake did not stick before opening the pan.

To remove the cake from the pan, open the spring and take off the outside of the pan. Place a plate or cake stand on the top of the cake and flip the cake over so the peaches are on top. Remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment paper.

Serve the cake warm or chilled!

Can I use a 9×13 pan?

Yes, you can use a 9×13 pan! I recommend greasing the pan really well with non-stick spray made specifically for baking. You can also line the cake with pieces of parchment paper or foil, so that inverting it is easier and cleaner!

Can I freeze peach cake?

Yes, you can freeze this peach cake. Since the peaches soften when baked, know that freezing and thawing adds to that softness. But it still works well, especially if you re-heat the cake in the oven and top with ice cream!
