Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Peaches
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Peel, pit, and slice the peaches into thin wedges. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture becomes a smooth caramel, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Arrange the peach slices over the caramel in a circular pattern.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, milk, and lemon juice, and mix until combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.

Step 7

Pour the batter over the arranged peaches and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges, then invert the cake onto a serving platter. Peel off the parchment paper if necessary.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your light and flavorful peach upside-down cake!
