Gluten Free Peach Upside Down Cake

Gluten Free Peach Upside Down Cake

This moist, delicious Gluten Free Peach Upside Down Cake is bursting with flavor from fresh fruit and caramelized sugar. Serve it warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Note: If you don’t have a cast iron skillet, you can caramelize your butter and sugar in any skillet. Then, once melted, simply pour the sugar mixture into a baking pan before moving to the next step. Sometimes the fruit bubbles up and over. You can place a sheet pan on the shelf under the cake to catch any drips.

Ingredients

Cake Batter
Sugar Glaze & Fruit Layer
  • 3 Tbsp Salted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 cups Peaches skinned and sliced
  • 1 cup Blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and prep your fruit.
  2. Whisk or sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Add the vanilla and then the eggs, one at a time. Beat until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Stir in half the flour mixture, then the milk, then the remaining dry ingredients. Do not overmix; stir just until the flour is barely incorporated into the batter. Set aside.
  4. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add brown sugar and whisk the sugar into the butter to bring to a slow boil. Whisk for 2-4 minutes, until the mixture is thick and smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. Arrange the fruit in the bottom of the skillet in a pinwheel design. Gently dollop the batter over the fruit, then gently smooth with a metal spatula so there is an even layer over all of the fruit.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until: the top of the cake is golden brown, it begins to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Let the cake settle for a minute, until any fruit that has traveled up the sides has stopped bubbling. (Do not let the cake completely cool, or it will be very difficult to remove.) Run a knife around the edges of the cake. Place a plate or serving platter over the cake and, using hot pads, carefully flip it all over. Gently remove the cake pan.
