    🍳 Step By Step Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 160°C.

    Brown sugar in a cake tin.

    Step 1 - Grease the inside sides of the cake tin with a little butter, this will prevent the sides of the cake from sticking to the tin.

    Next, make the caramel, by melting the butter. You can either melt the butter in the microwave oven or melt it in a small saucepan on the stove.

    Remove the butter from the heat and add the brown sugar mixing well. Spread the mixture evenly over the base of the tin

    Step 2 - I used an 820 gram can of peach slices, which contains about 500 grams of peaches. Drain the peaches and use absorbent paper to pat dry. The peaches don’t need to be completely dry.

    Arrange the peach slices decoratively over the top of the brown sugar and butter mixture.

    • Tip: When in season 500 grams of fresh peaches with the skin on can be used.

    Step 3 - To make the cake batter, all the ingredients should be at room temperature. So, remove the cold ingredients from the fridge about 30 minutes to one hour before using them. Place all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

    Step 4 - Use an electric mixer and mix for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture looks light in color and is lump-free.

    If you don’t have an electric mixer, use a wooden spoon to beat the mixture until the batter looks light and creamy.

    Step 5 - The cake batter is quite thick so, use a spoon to drop the batter all over the peaches.

    Step 6 - Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface of the batter.

    Step 7 - Bake the cake in a preheated oven for about 30 – 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    Step 8 - Remove the peach upside-down cake from the oven, allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, before turning it out onto a wire rack or serving plate. This cake is best eaten hot or warm on the day it was made.
