Bourbon Peach Upside-Down Cake (Print-Friendly Version)
Caramelized peaches and bourbon infuse this moist upside-down cake with rich, summery notes and almond undertones.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
01 -
4-5 peaches, cored and cut into wedges, skin on
02 -
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
03 -
1 1/4 cups sugar
04 -
3 eggs
05 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
06 -
1/4 cup almond flour
07 -
3 tablespoons bourbon
08 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
09 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
10 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch cake pan (not a springform) with parchment paper and butter the paper.
02 -
Arrange the peach wedges over the parchment, starting at the center and working outward. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon over the peaches.
03 -
Combine 1/4 cup water with 1/2 cup sugar in a saucepan. Stir to combine, then heat over medium-high heat without stirring until the mixture turns light brown, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat, add 1 tablespoon bourbon, and pour the caramel evenly over the peaches.
04 -
Using a mixer, beat the butter and 3/4 cup sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla and 2 tablespoons bourbon.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, beating until combined.
06 -
Pour the cake batter over the peaches, smoothing the surface. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-30 minutes, then turn it out onto a serving dish.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure the caramel is evenly poured over the peaches for uniform flavor.
