Peach Upside Down Cake

Peach Upside Down Cake. A classic summer dessert to be enjoyed when fresh peaches are at their, ripe, juicy best. Perfect with vanilla bean ice cream.

We’re still loving peach season with this great classic peach upside down cake we served to dinner guests a few days ago. It was simply delicious with a scoop of french Vanilla Ice cream.

It’s often said that the simple things are the best and this is yet another shining example of the truth of that old adage. This is a real old fashioned version which is easy to prepare and quick to serve.

It’s a dessert that is perfect for a casual weekday supper but delicious enough, when served with the best quality vanilla bean ice cream, to serve at a great summer dinner party. On those occasions, try baking individual cakes in large ramekins to invert onto the serving plate while still warm from the oven, and served with that great ice cream on the side.
