  • Impressive Presentation: A showstopper for any gathering.
  • Chocolate Twist: Adds a decadent finish to a classic dessert.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Peach Upside-Down Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, mixing well. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
  3. Arrange the sliced peaches over the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions, using the water, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the cake batter over the peaches in the pan, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  8. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate, allowing the peaches to rest on top.
  9. While the cake cools, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cake. Allow it to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the cake to cool slightly before inverting to prevent it from breaking apart.
  • Use a serrated knife to slice the cake for cleaner edges.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute peaches with pineapples or apricots for a different flavor profile.
  • Add nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
  • For a more tropical twist, incorporate coconut flakes into the batter.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
  • Whipped cream for a light, fluffy topping.
  • Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or until just heated through.
