Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 whole Ripe peaches
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it lightly with butter.
Melt 50 grams of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the light brown sugar and cook until the mixture is bubbly and smooth (about 2 minutes). Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
Slice the peaches into thin, even wedges (approximately 8-10 slices per peach). Arrange the slices in an overlapping pattern over the brown sugar mixture in the pan, covering the base completely with peaches.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, vanilla extract, eggs, vegetable oil, and the remaining 65 grams of melted butter until smooth.
Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter evenly over the peach slices, spreading gently with a spatula to smooth the top.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Let it sit for a minute, then gently lift off the pan to reveal the caramelized peaches on top.
Cool for an additional 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the Peach Down Side Up Cake warm or at room temperature.
