Peach upside-down cake is true culinary magic inspired by Russian cuisine traditions. This dessert combines airy dough with a caramelized fruit topping, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and tenderness. Historically, upside-down cakes gained popularity due to their unusual presentation – the finished cake is flipped over, revealing juicy caramelized peaches on top. The flavor of the cake is rich and creamy with vibrant fruity notes, while its delicate texture makes it especially enjoyable. It pairs perfectly with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee and will adorn any festive table. The uniqueness of this recipe lies in its simplicity and striking appearance that will impress any gourmet.

Cooking steps

1. For the fruit topping, you will need 6-7 ripe peaches; 0.5 cup of sugar (or less); 30 grams of butter.

   Required ingredients:

   • Peaches: 6 pieces
   • Sugar: 2 glasss
   • Butter: 30 g

2. For the test you will need 180 grams of butter; 85 ml of cream; 1.4 cups of sugar; 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract; 4 large eggs; 1.5 cups of flour.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 30 g
   • Cream 20%: 85 ml
   • Sugar: 2 glasss
   • Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces
   • Wheat flour: 1.5 glass

3. Line the baking pan with parchment paper, grease with butter, and arrange halved peaches/apricots/nectarines cut side up, evenly sprinkle with sugar.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 30 g
   • Peaches: 6 pieces
   • Sugar: 2 glasss

4. We leave the fruits to release juice and start preparing the dough: we beat the butter, cream, sugar, and vanilla extract for about three minutes, then continue beating and add the eggs one by one.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 30 g
   • Cream 20%: 85 ml
   • Sugar: 2 glasss
   • Vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons
   • Chicken egg: 4 pieces

5. Gradually add the sifted flour and beat for another three minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 1.5 glass

6. Cut the remaining peaches (in my case) into small cubes and mix them by hand with the dough. Pour the resulting mixture over the peaches placed in the mold, sprinkle with brown sugar (I didn't sprinkle), and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for an hour. Check readiness with a toothpick (if it comes out dry — it's ready), cool on a rack. Turn onto a plate.
