The Peach Upside-Down Cake is a delicious breakfast cake reminiscent of the Tarte Tatin. In the 80s, these cakes were very fashionable, I remember in 1982 when I got married, I only made these, with apples, pineapple, and pears. The recipe is very easy, so you have to try it, you will definitely like it!

Preheat the static oven to 350°F

Divide the butter into two portions, one 1/4 cup and one slightly more than 1/4 cup

Pour the eggs and granulated sugar into a bowl and beat to a cream with the electric whisk. Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix using the spatula, add the pinch of salt and 1/4 cup of melted, cooled butter. Once the butter is absorbed, add the 2 peaches in pieces with the skin.
In a small pan, melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter with the dark brown sugar. Pour it on the bottom of the pan, lined first with a disc of parchment paper. Arrange the remaining peach in wedges and pour the batter on top.
Level the batter and bake for 40 minutes. Once baking is complete, turn off the oven and after a few minutes with the door ajar, remove the cake. Flip the cake onto a plate and gently remove the paper. Delicious especially warm.
