It’s one of the best times of the year: peach season in Texas! Peaches grow really well in Texas and they’re so juicy, they make every baked good insanely moist. One bite of this Peach Upside Down Cake and you’ll be in love.

I got these gorgeous peaches at Ham Orchards. This recipe take about 3-4 peaches depending on the size of the fruit. Start by quartering them, then slice the quarters in half.

This cake isn’t just delicious: it’s cute as can be! Now in a pinch you could of course just toss the peaches in the pan but they’re so beautiful arranged in a circle like this.

I love that this recipe makes a cute little one-layer 8″ cake. It begs to be served with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream. Want another version of this recipe? Try my Plum Upside Down Cake!

Peach Upside Down Cake

3-4 fresh peaches
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided use)
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup flour
Serving suggestion: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly grease the bottom and sides of an 8″ cake pan. Optional but recommended: line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper.
2. Slice peaches and arrange in a swirl pattern in the bottom of prepared pan.
3. In a small sauce pan, cook 1/2 cup of sugar with 3 Tbsp water over medium-high heat until the sugar turns an amber color. Immediately pour caramel over peaches.
4. In a medium bowl, beat butter with 1 cup of sugar until combined, then beat in eggs one at at time. Add vanilla, then sprinkle flour, baking powder, and salt and mix just until combined.
5. Spread cake batter evenly over peaches, then bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Let cool for thirty minutes, then run a knife around the edges and flip onto serving platter. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
