Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the light brown sugar and cook until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly over the bottom.
Arrange the peach slices in a circular pattern over the caramel in the pan, slightly overlapping them to ensure full coverage. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until just combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Pour the batter evenly over the peach slices and smooth the top with a spatula, being careful not to disturb the peaches.
Place the cake pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. The caramelized peaches should now be on top.
Let the cake cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Peach Upside Down Pudding Cake!
