How to Make Grilled Peach Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat your gas grill to medium-low heat.
  2. In a deep 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter over indirect medium heat.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and light brown, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add a pinch of salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 cups of sliced ripe peaches.
  5. Cook until the peaches are slightly softened and caramelized, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook.
  6. Arrange the caramelized peaches in an even layer in the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
  7. In a medium bowl, toss 1 cup chopped peaches with 2 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  9. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  10. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  11. Stir in the chopped peach-sugar mixture.
  12. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts.
  13. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
  14. Stir the batter again and gently pour it over the cooled caramelized peaches in the skillet.
  15. Place the skillet in the center of the preheated grill over indirect medium-low heat. Close the grill lid and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let the cake cool in the skillet for 15 minutes.
  17. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter.
