My mother-law, whom I absolutely adore picked some fresh Peaches this week. She put up as many as she could and gave me a bunch of them to take home. They were so delicious and sweet!
As I got down to my last 3 peaches I decided to try to make a Peach Upside Down cake using the same method as I use for my famous Bananna Upside Down Cake! To make it even easier I used a Vanilla Cake Mix!
My brother was coming to town and bringing me some fresh Razor Clams, and I thought this would be a nice ending to our feast. It turned out beautifully and was extremely tasty!
1/2 cube of non salted butter
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1 Cake Mix (your choice, I used French Vanilla)
3-4 Peaches, skin removed and core removed, sliced
Preheat your oven to 325
You need a round cake pan, non stick is preferable
Place the butter and the brown sugar into your cake pan, and melt on the stovetop, mixing constantly until it incorporates and becomes like liquid carmel
Arrange your peach slices in the carmel mixture overlapping if possible
In the meantime assemble your cake mix according to package directions, and carefully spoon/pour over the peaches
Bake until puffy and brown about an hour (this can vary, check at 50 minutes)
Transfer to rack and cool
Invert onto cake plate or serving platter
I served with whipped cream

I know you know this has my name written all over it. Id love both versions. the banana and the peach. It looks lovely, Cheryl!
I always liked the looks of these. One of the few things my sainted mother made really well.
Love the Bananas
Oh this is definitely my kind of baking...I love using cake mixes. Thanks for posting this Cheryl!
Looks delicious! Throw some good ole vanilla ice cream on top and we are good to go.
girl, that is gorgeous! i love peaches, so i'd be all over this!!
Where were you when I had a kitchen full of peaches in August???? :-) Actually I now have a freezer full of peaches and I'll use this recipe over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the post.
oh how yummy! i love this, it's gorgeous!
I would love a slice right now. Looks great Cheryl.
You got to have fresh clams AND this cake! You are a lucky gal. This looks lovely! Why can't I think up stuff like this? YUM!
Oh my, just when I think about dieting, then you post this lovely, tempting cake. It looks fantastic!
That's the BEST thing abt the upside down cakes...that sticky, moist top!
That looks fantastic.
And I was releived to see that the request for clams resulted in a seperate dish. I thought you were up to some funky fusion thing here...
wow--you really scored with such an awesome mother-in-law! this is a fine way to use up the last of the peaches. i can get behind anything using only four ingredients!
The cake looks lovely and I'm sure it was delicious, but the peach pie was really top notch in flavor and eye appeal. I adore you, too, daughter. You are a great cook.
I like pinapple upside down cake, but I think I'd like peach even better! It looks great!
