Summer is going to end soon, and before that I need to make a few recipes with summer peaches. Yes, Texas has best sweet summer peaches. I decide to make this Peach upside down cake. Upside down cakes have been in my do list for a long time, however, I am not comfortable with making caramel worried that it is going to break my teeth.

After serious search I found that there is an easy way to making upside down cake. I adapted few recipes and mixed and made this one. I always like to make cakes with fresh fruits, because their marriage is always fruitful. Yes, fruity top with buttery cake layer. Even though pineapple upside down cake is classic, this peach upside down cake is a good one too.

I like to use fresh fruits, but if you want you can use canned ones. Sweet aroma of summer-fresh peaches, nothing can beat it. Peaches, perhaps more than any other fruit, belong purely to summertime. There’s no out-of-season substitute for a truly glorious peach. Among the stone fruits I like are peaches and mangoes.  I have interchanged them both in recipes.  I like to spice them up with exotic cardamom. It is regarded as the queen of spices and is one of the most expensive spices, ranking third, the first and second being saffron and vanilla, respectively.

Coming to buttery cake base, trust me it is delicious and moist with Greek yogurt, milk and butter. I used square pan, but if you want you can use round pan which makes your cake looking pretty. If you are like me, think about the convenience of serving, then go for square pan as you can get individual slices with two slices of peach on the top.

This is a great cake you can make ahead, even you refrigerate them it will retain it freshness for a couple of days. Next time when you are going for potluck or get together like me, just make this and take along with you. Your friends and family will love it.  If you can get fresh peaches then try it now or use canned one for year  around.

    Peach upside down cake sounds good to me, upside down cakes can be so nice and moist. This would go well with a tall glass of iced tea.

    Love the look of this rustic dessert. What a great way to enjoy peaches. I saw some in the market today. I might just have to go back an get some. This would be the perfect dessert for my BBQ party tomorrow.

    This is the perfect way to celebrate peaches!! Being close to the Georgia state line, I am partial to Georgia peaches! Maybe we need to do a Georgia/Texas peach taste off!

    I love upside down cakes especially because of all the caramelized sugar. Cardamom sounds lime a wonderful flavor. I have tried cinnamon but never cardamom. Can’t wait to try this.

    I Love peaches but I have never thought of using them this way, and I grew up in the peach state, Georgia. This cake looks so delicious and I’ll have to give this recipe a try.

    I really think the rustic type desserts are the best. We love our fruit and I made a plum tartin which is basically an upside down cake. I haven’t used cardamom very much and you’ve inspired me to try it with my peaches. I do have some and this dessert would be perfect.
