Sweet & juicy peaches all smothered in maple caramel on top the most perfect vanilla cake. You get the best of both worlds with this tarte tatin inspired cake AKA peach upside down cake.

Perfection on a plate or in giant bowl depending on how big a slice you want (THE BIGGEST IS THE BEST)!

Quite possibly one of the prettiest ways to eat cake without icing it!! My Maple Peach Upside Down cake is a home run in all the possible ways!!!

It tastes like peach heaven, looks so beautiful and you do not need any technical icing tricks. Bonus!

This easy peach cake uses fresh peaches (the only way to eat peaches!!!), maple syrup and simple pantry ingredients. For me this is a win, I love to use fresh produce and what I would normally have in my pantry for baking.

I don’t know about you but I personally don’t ice cakes often (if you’re a regular here you will know!!), unless it’s a simple lemon icing.

So I tend to not have all the icing ingredients or equipment on hand and try to make most the recipes on here without a icing.

This beautiful peach is two desserts combined (did you see what I did there? I apologize).

This fresh peach upside down cake is made up of layers; it has a maple caramel sauce that is then layered with fresh slices of peaches, and then it is also an upside down cake because instead of adding puff pastry (which would be amazing by the way) you put together a delicious vanilla cake to layer on top!!!!

Tips For The Best Peach Upside Down Cake:

• You need to use fresh peaches, canned peaches have too much liquid in them.

• You can use other fruits if you prefer, you could easily substitute with fresh apricots, plums, apples, pears.

• I use a oven proof non-stick skillet fry pan. If you do not have one of these, you could use a cake tin or oven proof dish and cook the caramel in a separate pot.

• I leave the cake in the pan once cooked for 10 minutes because there is usually a lot of maple peach caramel in the pan. Giving it 10 minutes allows the cake to soak some of it up before turning the cake out.

Enjoy!
