Peach Upside Down Cake

Peach Upside Down Cake is my favorite upside down cake. A switch from the pineapple version, try something different and use fresh, ripe peaches. Fresh peaches make this an extra special cake. This is a wonderful fresh peach dessert.

This cake. If you love fresh Summer peaches as much as I do, then you need to make this Peach Upside down Cake! It's a simple cake to make. It looks impressive, and it tastes even better!

Peaches – try and use fresh, ripe, in-season peaches. Peach season is usually mid-July to August.
You can use canned or frozen peaches in a pinch, I would go with frozen (thawed) as my first alternate choice.

*You can use unsalted butter for both the peaches and the cake, if you don't have both kinds of butter. If you use salted butter in the cake batter, omit the ¼ teaspoon of salt.

 

Peaches

• Canned peaches can be used. Drain the peaches and reserve the liquid if you want to use the liquid in place of the ⅔ cup of water.
• Frozen peaches can be used. Thaw and drain first.
