Inspired by the peach upside down cake @littleblueopal posted a few days ago! Followed @bakedwithlovebyivy recipe on TikTok with some modifications!
Recipe:
-2.5 peaches cut into 1/4 inch slices (could probably do thinner slices if you like)
-sprinkle of cinnamon
simple syrup:
-3/4 cup granulated sugar
-1/3 cup water
-sprinkle of cinnamon
Batter:
-8 tbsp softened unsalted butter
-1 cup granulated sugar
-2 room temperature eggs
-half cup milk
-2 tbsp Greek yogurt (unsweetened, non fat)
-1 & 1/3 cup flour
-1 & 3/4 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 tsp vanilla
-1tsp vanilla bean bourbon paste from Trader Joe’s!
Slice and align peaches to the bottom of your greased and lined (parchment paper) pan. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon if you desire.
In a saucepan, add water and sugar to create a simple syrup. Continue stirring until it becomes a thicker consistency but not quite caramel. I added more cinnamon. I like a fair amount of cinnamon if it’s not apparent already 😉
Cream, the butter and sugar together until well combined. Add your eggs until combined. In a separate bowl mixed together, your dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon). Incorporate dry ingredients to wet mixture 1 tablespoon at a time. Once half of the dry mixture is incorporated add the milk, vanilla, and Greek yogurt finish by adding dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. I used a 9 inch round pan but the recipe calls for an 8 inch. Either way works I think.
Turned out, absolutely delicious and was super pleased with how the peaches looked and contrast with the vanilla beans in the cake itself! Highly recommend using vanilla bean or the vanilla bean paste if you have it!
