Ingredients:
Upside down topping:
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced (or 1 cup sliced canned peaches)

Cake (yes, from scratch - lol - although you could use a Betty Crocker mix: butter yellow, vanilla or white):
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cup flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350

Directions Upside Down Topping:
Place butter and brown sugar in a glass pie pan on top of a stove burner set on low. Once melted, remove from burner and spread evenly arranged sliced peaches over butter mixture.

Directions for Cake:
Sift together dry ingredients for cake and add the rest of ingredients. Pour batter evenly over the peaches, sugar and butter. Back in pie pan 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Serve warm.

Excellent with vanilla ice cream.

  3. oooOOOooo...I need to try this, Melinda! Cerella and I always post a recipe (or two), but I don't think we've shared one that stars peaches!

    Wishing you and yours a safe and happy Independence Day weekend!

  4. This looks delicious! Always looking for new ways to use fresh fruit in the summer. I might try sprinkling a few blueberries in there, too.

  10. Yum. We had peach trees when I was growing up, and ate lots of peach cobbler and peach ice cream, but never peach upside down cake. It looks so good -- I'll have to try it. Thanks, Mel.

  11. What a lovely summer cake idea. It made me think of my mother's pineapple upside down cake and how we were so happy when she made it. Brought back good memories along with the recipe. Thanks.
