What is an upside down cake?

An upside-down cake is a cake that is baked “upside-down” in a pan, with its toppings at the bottom of the pan. When baked, the cake is flipped over and de-panned onto a serving plate, and serving it right-side up.

So, for this Peach Blueberry Upside Down Cake, the peach and blueberries are baked at the bottom, but when served, the fruit is on top.

What is the origin of an upside down cake?

The origins of the upside down cake recipe date back hundreds of years, when people would cook on cast-iron skillets over open fires. When they wanted a sweet treat, they would line the bottom of the pans with fruit, and pour batter on top.

Tips for making this cake:

-Use either fresh or frozen fruit. Either will work best with this cake.

-Use buttermilk instead of regular milk and olive oil instead of butter for the cake to ensure the cake will be moist.

-Use a springform Pan to bake it in instead of a regular cake pan. The springform pan will make it easier to remove the cake because you can remove the ring around the sides. The cake can possibly break apart if baked in a regular layer cake pan.

-After removing the cake from the pan, if the fruit bakes too much into the cake, you can sauté additional peaches in butter and add them and more blueberries to the fruit side of the cake before serving.

This is one great homemade upside down cake that everyone will love!
