Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1.25 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons oil (I used vegetable oil)
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 4 large peaches (cut into 1/2 inch slices)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
  • In a bowl whisk together all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • Using the paddle attachment of your stand mixer or using your hand mixer, beat sugar and oil till combined. Then add egg, vanilla extract and mix.
  • Stir in the buttermilk and mix.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Don't dump the entire mix in one go, do it in 3 parts.
  • Mix till the flour mix is well combined but do not over-mix. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile melt butter in a pan. Once the butter melts, add brown sugar and cinnamon and let the sugar melt.
  • Pour the butter-sugar-cinnamon mixture into a 9 inch round pan.
  • Arrange the cut peach slices on top. I arranged the peaches in 2 layers, just to make it look prettier.
  • Pour the prepared cake batter on top of the peach slices. Place the cake pan onto a cookie sheet. I place the pan onto a cookie sheet before placing it in the oven so that in case the batter bubbles and spills, my oven remains clean!
  • Bake at 350 F degrees for 35-40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Take out of the oven and let the cake cool down for 20-30 minutes. Place the serving plate on top of the cake pan and flip over. The cake would come out easily.
  • Serve peach upside down cake with some vanilla ice cream on top!
