Upside Down Peach Cake with Pecans

 Peach Upside Down Cake with Pecans

I love upside down cakes!  Pineapple, plum and when the grocery stores have plenty of fresh peaches and they’re at their sweetest, I always add this to my list of favorite summer desserts. This is just delightful and so easy to make! 

Upside Down Peach Cake with Pecans

1 (15.25 oz.) box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients to make it

3-4 fresh ripe peaches, peeled and sliced

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar

½ cup chopped pecans

1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350º degrees and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pans with butter or non-stick spray.  You can also use a 9 inch cake pan if desired. 

Make cake mix according to package instructions.  Set aside. In a small bowl combine butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan.  

Place peeled, sliced peaches in an even layer on top of the butter layer. Sprinkle pecans on top and in between peaches. You can make any design you’d like. I just laid mine in a circle.

Pour the cake mix evenly all over the peaches. If using a springform, make sure you cover the bottom with aluminum foil to prevent leaking.  They will leak!

Place on baking sheet with sides and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.  Allow cake to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

To remove the cake from the springform pan, run a knife around the edges and release the spring. Place a plate on top of the cake and invert the cake so the peaches are on the top. Remove the cake pan bottom and parchment paper.   For a regular cake pan, simply lay a plate on top and invert.

Slice into wedges and serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream!  YUM!

   

   

Notes:

   

   For a springform pan, remember the brown sugar butter  

   mixture can leak out of the pan while baking and drip onto the  

   bottom of the oven. To prevent a big mess in your oven, line the 

   bottom of the pan with foil and place a baking sheet under the 

   cake. 

   You can also use a 9 x 13 pan! I recommend greasing the pan

   really well with non-stick spray.
