Upside-Down Peach Cake

The upside-down peach cake is a fresh, soft, and quick dessert to prepare. Ideal for the summer season.

Peaches impart their full flavor and goodness, making it unique.
Great for both breakfast and snack time, it is butter-free and made with whole cane sugar, as in all my other desserts.

There are many varieties of peaches, those with velvety or smooth skin, like the nectarines I used. I picked them directly from my fruit tree, which this year was very generous.

For those who don’t have a tree and need to purchase them, I recommend buying them not too ripe, otherwise, they become very watery and are not suitable for our recipe.

This fruit has many properties; for example, if consumed ripe and away from meals, it protects the stomach lining and promotes intestinal transit.

Steps

To prepare the delicious upside-down peach cake, start by washing them under running water.

  • Then cut them in half, leaving the skin on, and slice them into wedges, setting them aside for later.
    In the meantime, take a bowl and add the eggs and sugar, and with an electric whisk beat until you obtain a frothy mixture. Then, gradually add the sunflower oil first, followed by the plant-based milk, continuing to beat with the whisk.

  • Next, add the flour and baking powder, and with the whisk, fully combine everything. Finally, add 3 oz of peaches cut into small pieces (from those previously sliced) and mix with a spatula.

  • Then, line our springform pan with parchment paper and sprinkle the bottom with a teaspoon of whole cane sugar. Then first place the sliced peaches and finally pour the batter, which should cover all the fruit. Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake for about 30 minutes.

  • Once baking is complete, allow it to cool. Once cool, gently flip the cake over and finally enjoy … bon appétit!
