About the Recipe: Upside down peach dessert is covered with brown-sugar topping, fresh peaches, and crunchy pecans. The dessert, a light textured cake, is baked upside down. It looks so attractive when you add a circle of pecans around the cake. There is no better way to celebrate the arrival of fresh, juicy peaches than serving them as a warm-from-the-oven dessert.

The Virginia Peach Festival is celebrated each year in August. They even include music, food, crafts, and lots of fresh peach goodies.

Cook’s Note:  Use a nonstick oven skillet to make sure the cake removes easily after baking and cooling or use a circle of parchment paper on bottom of skillet. We garnished the baked cake with a circle of pecan halves.

  • Bake in 325 degrees F. oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of cake comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake; carefully invert skillet and cake onto serving platter. Lift off skillet. Cool cake about 30 minutes more.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream and pecan halves, if desired.
