How to Make Peach Upside Down Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 13x9-inch baking pan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until combined and melted.
  3. Arrange 4-5 cups of sliced fresh peaches (about 6 medium peaches) evenly over the butter-sugar mixture in the pan.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Add 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the peaches in the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving platter.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
