Peachy Keen Skillet Upside Down Cake!

A cake rich with Butter and flavored with Vanilla and baked over a layer of freshly sliced Peaches and Honeyed Cashews in a sauce of Brown Sugar and Spices. Serve warm with Ice Cream or Whipped Cream if you like, but if you are a purist like me, then this cake needs nothing but your fork! I made mine in an 8 inch Cast Iron Skillet, but a 9 inch cake pan will work just as well.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. In an 8 -9 inch Cast Iron Skillet, melt the butter in the oven. Remove from the oven and stir in the Brown Sugar, Honey,Ginger and Allspice. Set aside.
  • Layer the sliced Peaches in the Skillet and sprinkle with the chopped Cashews. Utterly decadent I tell you!
  • Combine the Flour, Baking Powder and Salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer, beat the butter about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and continue to beat for 1 minute. Add the egg and the Vanilla and beat another 30 seconds or so.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients to the butter mixture with the water, beating a few seconds between each addition until well combined.
  • Carefully spread the cake batter over the Peach mixture in the skillet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes until the top is lightly golden.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife along side the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Lay a large plate over the skillet and quickly but carefully invert the skillet so you have the Peaches on the top! And Bob's your Uncle, you have a scrumptious Peachy Keen Upside Down Cake!
