Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 6 slices pineapple slices (canned or fresh)
• 6 slices peach slices (fresh or canned)
• 6 whole maraschino cherries
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 whole large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the oven. Once melted, evenly sprinkle 3/4 cup of brown sugar over the butter.

Step 3

Arrange 6 pineapple slices and 6 peach slices in an alternating pattern over the butter and brown sugar mixture. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of whole milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 8

Gently pour the batter over the arranged fruit in the cake pan, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving plate or cake stand over the top of the pan, then carefully invert the cake onto the plate.

Step 12

Let the cake cool completely before serving. Slice and enjoy your Peachy Pineapple Upside Down Cake!
