Bourbon Peach Upside Cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4-5 peaches, cored and cut into wedges, skin on
02 -
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
03 -
1 ¼ cup sugar
04 -
3 eggs
05 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
06 -
¼ cup almond flour
07 -
3 tablespoons bourbon
08 -
½ teaspoon cinnamon
09 -
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
10 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch cake pan (not springform) with parchment paper and butter the paper.
02 -
Arrange the peach wedges over the parchment, starting at the center and working outward. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon over the peaches.
03 -
Combine ¼ cup water with ½ cup sugar in a saucepan and stir to combine. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture turns light brown, about 10-15 minutes. Avoid stirring while heating. Remove from heat, quickly add 1 tablespoon bourbon, and pour evenly over the peaches.
04 -
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons bourbon.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Gradually beat the dry mixture into the wet mixture to form the batter.
06 -
Pour the batter over the peaches and smooth the surface. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
07 -
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-30 minutes. Carefully turn it out onto a serving plate and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure to use a solid 9-inch cake pan, as a springform pan may leak the caramel during baking.
