PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Peach Upside-Down Cake image

Upside-down cakes are easy, adaptable and beautiful no matter what kind of fruit you use. This one calls for any kind of summer stone fruit - peaches, apricots, nectarines, plums - whatever looks ripe and juicy. Caramelizing the brown sugar in a skillet before adding the fruit gives it all a particularly deep, complex flavor. Because of the moisture in the topping, you'll need to bake this cake a little longer than other, similar butter cakes. Underbaked cake will be soggy and apt to fall apart, but an ideal result will have a well-browned surface and dark, slightly crunchy edges.

Time 1h

Yield 1 (10-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/71 grams light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 cups sliced peaches, or use 3 cups sliced nectarines, plums or apricots (about 1 1/4 pounds before pitting)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups/195 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that's OK.
  • Add fruit, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from the heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt and baking soda into the batter, one at a time, whisking vigorously after each addition.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that's OK. Don't overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly.
  • Bake until surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling around the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula around the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake into serving platter. If some fruit sticks to bottom of skillet, gently remove using offset spatula or knife and place back onto cake. Let cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked.

APRICOT UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apricot Upside-Down Cake image

Apricot halves, baked in a faux caramel of melted butter, brown sugar and spices, burst with punchy flavor in every bite of this cake. The sticky topping complements the almost-tart, fleshy stone fruit, and offers a textural contrast to the buttery cake. A hint of almond further accentuates the apricot flavor. This rustic beauty is perfect by itself, but you can serve it with whipped cream or ice cream, if you want to be fancy.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons/55 grams unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
Flour, for dusting
1/2 cup/110 grams light or dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 medium apricots, rinsed and dried (about 1 pound)
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/55 grams almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons/85 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup/135 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the topping: Lightly grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan or an 8-inch square baking pan. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread the brown sugary mix in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.
  • Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Arrange the apricots, flesh-side down, evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  • Prepare the cake batter: Add the flour to a medium bowl. Sift in the almond flour, then use your fingertips to break up any clumps that don't fit through the sieve. Add the baking powder and salt to the bowl and whisk to combine.
  • In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with the paddle attached, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium until combined and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract, then the eggs, one at a time, mixing until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the milk, mixing to combine. Continue alternating the additions of flour and milk and mixing, scraping down the sides of the bowl, just until all is combined. (Make sure not to overmix during this step.)
  • Spread the batter in an even layer over the apricot halves. Bake until the cake is set and doesn't jiggle when shaken, is golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the oven, and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. With the cake still in the pan, turn the pan over onto a serving platter. Wait 1 minute, then remove the pan. This cake is excellent warm, but it's also delicious at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure you measure and prep all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Use Ripe Apricots and Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy apricots and peaches. You can tell if they're ripe by their color and texture. Ripe apricots will be orange or yellow in color and slightly soft to the touch. Ripe peaches will be slightly soft when you press on them.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Well-Greased Cake Pan: To prevent the cakes from sticking, make sure you grease the cake pan well.
  • Don't Open the Oven Door During Baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cakes to fall. Wait until the cakes are done baking before you open the door.

Conclusion:

Upside-down apricot-peach cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With just a few simple tips, you can make sure your cakes turn out perfect every time. So, next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these upside-down apricot-peach cakes a try!
