This Peach Upside Down Cake is so flavorful. This cake starts with a simple layer to create the beautiful caramel flavor all over the peaches and down the sides of the cake from a mixture of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and a little touch of nutmeg.

Peach Upside Down Cake is perfect for when those beautiful peaches are in season. Fresh peaches add so much flavor and a whole lot of texture to this simple cake.

Can I use Canned or Frozen Peaches?

If you don’t have fresh peaches on hand, you can use canned or frozen peaches. If you are using canned peaches, make sure to drain them completely to remove any excess liquid. If using frozen peaches, allow the peaches to thaw and remove them from any liquid that has drained from the peaches. Slice them into thinner slices if necessary.

Can I make Peach Upside Down Cake Ahead?

This Peach Upside Down Cake Recipe can be made up to 2 days in advance of when you will be serving it. If you are making this cake ahead, allow it to cool completely and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or place in an air tight container. Store the cake either on the counter top or in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Just a side note, this cake, like any cake is best when served fresh.

Can this Peach Cake be Frozen?

This Peach Upside Down Cake can be easily frozen if you are wanting to keep it for a later date. To freeze this cake, allow the cake to cool completely, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. Be sure to label the cake, so you don’t forget what it is! (I may have done this!!)

To thaw the cake, place it in the refrigerator overnight, or it can be thawed on the counter top for a few hours.

How to make Peach Upside Down Cake

For the full recipe instructions head down to the recipe card, let’s just go over a few helpful tips here to make this tasty cake.

I like to make this cake in an 8 inch round springform pan, if you don’t have a springform pan, this cake can also be made in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.

To prepare the pan, spray the bottom and sides with cooking spray to help the cake from sticking. Line the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment paper, cut to fit the bottom.

Make the French Vanilla Cake Mix according to the package instructions. Pour the cake mix over the top of the peaches and bake in a 350º F for 35-45 minutes, until the cake is cook through. Test the doneness of the test by poking a toothpick into the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, the cake is done baking.
