Peach Upside Down Cake is my favorite upside down cake. I do like the pineapple version, but fresh peaches make this an extra special cake. This is a wonderful fresh peaches dessert.
Peach Upside Down Cake
What an incredibly beautiful Summer day here in the Pacific Northwest! I’m here with Gizmo, he’s chillin’ at my feet. Paul got home, and before I could hand him a Friday cocktail, he had to leave again. He got something in his eye a few days ago and it is still there! Off to the urgent care.
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. It tastes even better! Paul is getting a nice big slice tonight (with ice cream)!
