How to Make One Bowl Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x2 inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to help with inverting.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¾ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
  4. Make a well in the center and add 2 large eggs, ½ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  5. Whisk until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  6. In the prepared pan, scatter 4 tablespoons (½ stick) cubed unsalted butter and ¼ cup packed brown sugar evenly over the bottom.
  7. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons honey and arrange 2 cups sliced fresh or frozen peaches and 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries over the brown sugar mixture.
  8. Season the fruit lightly with a pinch of salt.
  9. Pour the batter over the fruit, smoothing the top.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen.
  12. Invert the cake onto a serving platter, carefully peeling away the parchment paper.
  13. Serve warm, with lightly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
