PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Peach Upside-Down Cake image

Peaches shine in this 1988 recipe. Ripe slices are coated with caramelized sugar, then a batter enhanced with just a bit of nutmeg. It's ready in 30 minutes, perfect for those warm days when turning on the oven feels impossible. It's best the day it's made, and kept unrefrigerated. One note: Your caramel might harden by the time you spread the batter on top of the peaches. Don't worry. It'll melt by the time it comes out of the oven.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound/114 grams unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pan
3 large, ripe peaches
1 1/4 cup/250 grams sugar
1 cup/128 grams flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs
3/4 cup crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch cake or pie pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper and butter that as well.
  • Pit the peaches and cut into slices about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the slices in a pattern on the bottom of the pie pan.
  • Combine 1/2 cup/100 grams of the sugar with 1/4 cup/60 milliliters of water in a saucepan or skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture turns amber, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and pour this caramel evenly over the peaches in the pie pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg, and set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, beat together the butter and remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar until light. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Stir in the flour mixture. Spread the batter evenly over the peaches and caramel.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden brown and cake is set. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack. Run a knife around the sides, place a platter on top and invert the cake onto the platter. If any of the peach slices stick to the pan, lift them off carefully and replace them on top of the cake. Serve the cake warm or cooled to room temperature, with crème fraîche on the side.

PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN SKILLET CAKE WITH BOURBON WHIPPED CREAM



Peach Upside-Down Skillet Cake With Bourbon Whipped Cream image

A lush combination of a Southern upside-down cake and a French tarte tatin, this cake is deeply caramelized on top and light and fluffy beneath. The chef Virginia Willis, who put the recipe together, uses a whole vanilla bean, but if you don't feel like making that investment, a teaspoon of strong pure vanilla extract is fine. She uses a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, but a heavy nonstick one would work too. The whipped cream is optional, as is the bourbon that brightens it; you can add vanilla, confectioners' sugar or both if you prefer.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds/680 grams), unpeeled and cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup/130 grams cake flour, not self-rising
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
5 ounces/140 grams unsalted butter (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons), at cool room temperature
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. (This is in case the cake bubbles over during baking.)
  • In a large bowl, toss the peaches with the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, cook 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately add 2 tablespoons of the butter, stirring vigorously. The mixture may appear curdled and broken; don't worry, it will smooth out. Arrange the peach wedges in concentric circles over the sugar mixture, overlapping as needed to make them fit.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the remaining sugar, butter and the vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract) on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add the sour cream and beat until blended. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until blended and stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Spoon the batter over the peaches in the skillet and spread to cover.
  • Place the skillet on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Make the whipped cream, if desired: In a large bowl, preferably metal, combine cream and bourbon. Refrigerate, along with a metal whisk or mixer attachments, for at least 15 minutes. Once chilled, whip the mixture until it holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the skillet on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen. If you see liquid around the edges of the skillet, carefully pour off into a measuring cup and set aside. (It's O.K. if you don't have any excess liquid - it all depends on how juicy your fruit is.)
  • Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and drizzle with any reserved liquid. Let cool about 10 minutes more, to set. Cut into wedges using a serrated knife and serve, topping each slice with whipped cream if you like.

Pour mixture into 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides; spread evenly over bottom of pan (layer will be thin). Arrange pecan halves, side by side with round sides down, in circle around outer edge of pan bottom. Arrange peach wedges, slightly overlapping, inside circle of pecans, covering pan bottom. Set aside while making cake batter.
  • Cake:
  • Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Combine first 6 ingredients in processor. Blend until nuts are finely ground. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until butter is pale in color, about 4 minutes. Whisk eggs and vanilla in small bowl until well blended. Add egg mixture to butter mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until well blended after each addition. Add flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions, beating just until blended after each addition. Drop batter by large spoonfuls atop pecans and peaches in pan; spread evenly and gently with offset spatula or rubber spatula.
  • Bake cake until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Transfer cake to rack; cool in pan 25 to 30 minutes (do not cool longer or peach layer may stick to pan). Run small knife around sides of cake to loosen. Place serving platter atop cake pan. Using oven mitts, firmly hold cake pan and platter together and invert cake onto platter. Let cake rest 1 minute, then very slowly lift off pan. If necessary, rearrange any peach wedges or pecans that may have become dislodged. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Cut cake into wedges. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

BOURBON SPIKED PEACH PECAN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Bourbon Spiked Peach Pecan Upside-Down Cake image

A dense pecan cake has slices of fresh bourbon-pecan peaches on top.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds firm ripe peaches, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk or 3/4 cup whole milk whisked with 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
[For Serving:] Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the caramel and fruit: Stir the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water together in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet to make a mixture like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat until melted and light amber, about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt if making a salted caramel. Arrange the peaches, cut-side down, on top. Drizzle the bourbon over the fruit.
  • For the batter: Whisk together the flour, pecans, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat together the sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, stirring until just incorporated.
  • Pour the batter over the fruit and spread evenly. Bake until golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let rest for 15 minutes and then invert onto a platter. Cool to room temperature before serving. Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream if using.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh peaches: This will ensure that your cake is bursting with flavor. If your peaches are not ripe, you can ripen them by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give your cake a crispy, golden crust. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking dish, but the crust will not be as crispy.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking. Once the cake is cool, run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan, then place a plate over the pan and invert it.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This is the perfect way to enjoy a slice of upside-down peach cake!

Conclusion:

Upside-down peach cake is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this cake is sure to become a favorite in your home. So next time you have a ripe peach, give this recipe a try!
