Peach & vanilla upside down cake

This versatile upside down cake recipe can be made with most stone fruits, apple or pear in winter. It works well as individual cakes in a muffin pan too.

Ingredients

30 gram butter, melted

1/4 cup caster sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

4 white or golden peaches, halved and sliced into eighths

100 gram butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/4 cup flour

1.Preheat the oven to 175ºC. Line the base of a 21cm round or square cake tin with baking paper.

2.Combine the melted butter, sugar and vanilla paste, then spoon over the base of the lined tin. Arrange the peach slices in a decorative pattern over the vanilla butter mixture. They should be tightly packed and in a single layer.

3.In the food processor, whiz the butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, whizzing well between each.

4.Add the sifted flour, baking soda, cinnamon and lastly the milk. Blend until creamy.

5.Pour over the fruit layer and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out cleanly.

6.Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before gently inverting onto a plate.

7.Drizzle with honey or maple syrup and serve with whipped cream or fruity ice cream.
