Peach and Pear Upside-down Cake - Easy Recipe

You will need:


Peach and Pear Upside-down Cake - Easy Recipe

  • 2 ripe peaches

  • 4 ripe pears

  • 100g butter/dairy-free spread

  • 120g caster sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1ts vanilla flavouring/extract

  • 1 tsp rum flavouring

  • 130g gluten-free flour

  • 1ts baking powder



How to:


  1. Pre-heat the oven at 180C/160 fan/gas mark 4

  2. After removing the core/stone, dice 1 peach and 1 pear into cubes and thinly slice the remaining fruit.

  3. Butter a cake tin/springform and sprinkle brown sugar on the bottom of the tin

  4. Arrange the fruit slices (I prefer having peaches in the middle of the cake tin and pear to surround them, but arrange them as you desire)

  5. In a bowl mix the eggs, sugar and butter,

  6. Add the vanilla and rum flavourings and mix well

  7. Add the flour and baking powder and mix well

  8. Add the peach and pear pieces to the mix

  9. Pour the batter on top of the fruit in the cake tin

  10. Put the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180C

  11. Do the toothpick test (insert a toothpick in the centre of the cake, if the toothpick comes out clean, your cake is ready, if batter is clinging to the toothpick/wooden skewer, then place the cake back in the oven for a few more minutes)

  12. Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool down in the tin for a couple of minutes

  13. Remove the cake from the tin and leave it to cool with the plum side facing up (remove the sides of the cake tin, then put a plate or cooling rack on top of the cake and quickly turn it over

  14. Enjoy!
