Description

A delightful Bourbon Peach Upside-Down Cake that combines the sweetness of peaches with the richness of bourbon for a delicious dessert that is sure to impress.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 45 peaches, cored and cut into wedges
  • 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 3 tbsp bourbon
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 9-inch cake pan (do not use a springform) with parchment paper and butter the paper.
  3. Arrange the peaches over the parchment, starting at the center and working your way out. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon cinnamon over the peaches.
  4. Make the caramel by combining ¼ cup water with ½ cup sugar. Stir to combine and then heat over medium-high heat until it turns light brown. Do not stir the mixture while it is heating (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat and quickly add 1 tablespoon bourbon and pour evenly over the peaches.
  5. Make the cake batter by beating the butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in the eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla and 2 tablespoons bourbon.
  6. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, and remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and then slowly beat it into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter over the peaches and smooth the surface.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick or knife comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool for 15-30 minutes before turning it out.
