Even though peaches are available year round, they aren't as flavorful as when they are locally grown. Once the locally grown peaches become available, it’s fun to turn them into delicious desserts. Cakes, puddings, crisps, cobblers, pies, etc., are always popular, and this Peach Upside Down Cake is not only easy, but tasty. This recipe starts with a cake mix made richer by using butter, an extra egg, and milk instead of water. The recipe only uses half of the batter, so the other half can be made into cupcakes for an extra dessert.


8 Servings

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup blueberries, or raspberries, (optional)
4 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced

Cake:
1 15.25 oz yellow cake Mix
1/2 cup softened butter
4 eggs
1 cup milk

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Spray a 9" deep dish cake pan with non-stick spray with flour.
3. Melt the butter; stir in the brown sugar, and spread over the bottom of the prepared pan.
4. Sprinkle the blueberries or raspberries (if using) evenly over the mixture.
5. Arrange the peach slices over the berries decoratively.
6. Mix the cake ingredients until smooth.
7. Spread half of the batter over the peaches (use the remaining for cupcakes or an additional upside down cake.)
8. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and set.
9. Remove from the oven and let sit 10 minutes.
10. Invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
