A quick and easy fresh peach upside-down cake featuring a rich caramel brown sugar glaze, perfect for summer gatherings and last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 medium fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In your cake pan or skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar until dissolved and bubbling gently, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and arrange the sliced peaches in a single layer on top of the caramel.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and 1/2 cup whole milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
  7. Pour the batter evenly over the peach slices in the pan and smooth the top gently with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Pat peaches dry if extra juicy to prevent excess liquid. Stir caramel constantly to avoid burning. Let cake cool slightly before flipping to prevent sticking. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Can substitute almond flour for gluten-free or coconut oil and dairy-free milk for dairy-free versions.
