Iron Skillet Peach Upside Down Cake

I love the fruits of summer, and I try to use them in sweet and savory recipes.

This simple cake is one of my favorites. It’s simple, quick and uses ingredients you have on hand.

It’s similar to the old classic pineapple upside cake, using peaches. Experiment using different fruits and flavorings.

This cake will have your family and friends asking for seconds, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you have a

dessert for causal or special occasion gatherings. I make this cake for Summer potlucks or home barbecues.

Melt the butter before adding the fruit, then add the sugar until melted and golden in color, layer your fruit, if you don’t like peaches

try other Summer stone fruit.

You can make an easy, quick camel sauce to drizzle over the ice cream by cooking one cup of sugar with 1/2 cup water

until golden brown about 10 minutes, add 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream last 5 minutes. The caramel sauce will keep for about 1 week refrigerated.

To warm the caramel sauce heat over a double boiler or put the container in hot water. I store my desert sauces in plastic squirt bottles.

Makes it easier to pour and you can heat the sauce right in the bottle by leaving it in hot water for a few minutes.

Try this cake I’am sure it will become one of your family favorites too, and let me know what you think.

Leave me a comment, that’s my favorite part you experiences cooking my recipes.

Happy cooking my Dears!!!!
