Peach Upside Down Cake

peach3

I love peaches. They are my favorite fruit, and every year I look forward to the day when the peaches are finally ripe at the local farms and I can go buy them. Once they are finally available, I tend to buy way too many and then need to come up with fun ways to use them. One of my favorites is a peach upside down cake.

I take butter, brown sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon and put that on the bottom of a round pan, then arrange sliced peaches in a spiral on top of that

Then on top of that I pour a delicious cake batter. Once it is cooked, it is flipped over out of the pan and the peaches look beautiful on the top of the cake. It is a delicious, moist cake.
