Peach Upside-Down Cake     Print this Recipe

Comments

"Because I live at high altitude, I added 3 Tbsp extra peach juice to the recipe. The cake could also be made with soft pears or blueberries instead of peaches. When making the cake with blueberries, my husband suggested adding chopped pecans to make it extra good!" (Healthy Recipe Mom, Stephanie)

350 degrees

Equipment

8-inch cake pan, small and large mixing bowl, serving plate

  4. 1/3 cup reserved peach juice

  5. 3/4 tsp vanilla extract

  6. 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
