Serving and Tips
- Serve warm: This cake is best enjoyed fresh from the oven while the topping is still gooey and caramelized. A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes it even more decadent.
- Use the syrup wisely: The reserved peach syrup replaces water in the cake mix for extra peach flavor — just make sure it’s measured accurately for best texture.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Warm slightly before serving to bring back that just-baked flavor.
- Variation: Try using fresh or frozen peaches if they’re in season — just add a sprinkle of sugar before layering them in the skillet.
Moist, buttery, and full of caramelized peach flavor, this Cast Iron Peach Upside-Down Cake is a Southern dessert staple that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. With its golden top and soft cake beneath, it’s proof that sometimes the easiest recipes are the most memorable. 🍑❤️
