Description
Delightful and easy recipe for Peach Upside Down Mini Cakes, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 medium peaches, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- In a small bowl, toss the sliced peaches with lemon juice and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom. Place a few peach slices on top of the batter in each cup, then fill the cups with the remaining batter until they are about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the mini cakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a caramelized topping, sprinkle a little brown sugar over the peach slices before adding the batter.
- Try substituting the peaches with other fruits like pineapple or cherries for a different flavor.
