PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN SKILLET CAKE WITH BOURBON WHIPPED CREAM



Peach Upside-Down Skillet Cake With Bourbon Whipped Cream image

A lush combination of a Southern upside-down cake and a French tarte tatin, this cake is deeply caramelized on top and light and fluffy beneath. The chef Virginia Willis, who put the recipe together, uses a whole vanilla bean, but if you don't feel like making that investment, a teaspoon of strong pure vanilla extract is fine. She uses a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, but a heavy nonstick one would work too. The whipped cream is optional, as is the bourbon that brightens it; you can add vanilla, confectioners' sugar or both if you prefer.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium peaches (about 1 1/2 pounds/680 grams), unpeeled and cut into 1/3-inch-thick wedges
Juice of 1 lemon
1 cup/130 grams cake flour, not self-rising
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
5 ounces/140 grams unsalted butter (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons), at cool room temperature
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon bourbon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper. (This is in case the cake bubbles over during baking.)
  • In a large bowl, toss the peaches with the lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
  • In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, cook 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and immediately add 2 tablespoons of the butter, stirring vigorously. The mixture may appear curdled and broken; don't worry, it will smooth out. Arrange the peach wedges in concentric circles over the sugar mixture, overlapping as needed to make them fit.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the remaining sugar, butter and the vanilla bean seeds (or vanilla extract) on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add the sour cream and beat until blended. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until blended and stopping to scrape bowl as needed. Spoon the batter over the peaches in the skillet and spread to cover.
  • Place the skillet on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Make the whipped cream, if desired: In a large bowl, preferably metal, combine cream and bourbon. Refrigerate, along with a metal whisk or mixer attachments, for at least 15 minutes. Once chilled, whip the mixture until it holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the skillet on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen. If you see liquid around the edges of the skillet, carefully pour off into a measuring cup and set aside. (It's O.K. if you don't have any excess liquid - it all depends on how juicy your fruit is.)
  • Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and drizzle with any reserved liquid. Let cool about 10 minutes more, to set. Cut into wedges using a serrated knife and serve, topping each slice with whipped cream if you like.

CARAMEL PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Caramel Peach Upside-Down Cake image

Upside-down cakes are great for summer barbecues -- and the leftovers make for a fantastic breakfast. We loved this recipe when made with grits, but heard from viewers that their results were gritty. Not all grits are made equal! So we've clarified the recipe to call for white corn meal.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Softened unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
6 whole allspice berries, optional
1 tablespoon water
3 large ripe peaches (about 1 pound)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup fine ground white cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
Serving suggestion: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch cake pan, line bottom with parchment paper and brush the paper with butter.
  • Caramel peaches: Combine the sugar, corn syrup, allspice and water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to high, and continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture becomes an amber caramel, about 5 minutes. Pour the caramel into the prepared pan and set aside to cool.
  • Halve and pit the peaches, but leave their skins on. Cut each half into 3 wedges. Arrange the wedges in concentric circles in the pan. Set aside while you make the cake batter.
  • Cake: Whisk the all-purpose flour, white corn flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Slowly mix the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a hand-held electric mixer. Increase the speed to high, and continue beating until the butter is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at time, waiting for each to be fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • While mixing at a low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the sour cream in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Increase the speed to medium and mix briefly to make a smooth batter. Pour the batter over the peaches and smooth over.
  • Bake the cake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack, about 20 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the pan to release the cake. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and remove the parchment paper. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
  • Serving suggestions: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

PEACH UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Peach Upside-Down Cake image

Peaches shine in this 1988 recipe. Ripe slices are coated with caramelized sugar, then a batter enhanced with just a bit of nutmeg. It's ready in 30 minutes, perfect for those warm days when turning on the oven feels impossible. It's best the day it's made, and kept unrefrigerated. One note: Your caramel might harden by the time you spread the batter on top of the peaches. Don't worry. It'll melt by the time it comes out of the oven.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 pound/114 grams unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing the pan
3 large, ripe peaches
1 1/4 cup/250 grams sugar
1 cup/128 grams flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 eggs
3/4 cup crème fraîche

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch cake or pie pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a round of parchment paper and butter that as well.
  • Pit the peaches and cut into slices about 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the slices in a pattern on the bottom of the pie pan.
  • Combine 1/2 cup/100 grams of the sugar with 1/4 cup/60 milliliters of water in a saucepan or skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture turns amber, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and pour this caramel evenly over the peaches in the pie pan.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg, and set aside.
  • In another medium bowl, beat together the butter and remaining 3/4 cup/150 grams sugar until light. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. Stir in the flour mixture. Spread the batter evenly over the peaches and caramel.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until top is golden brown and cake is set. Remove from the oven and set on a cooling rack. Run a knife around the sides, place a platter on top and invert the cake onto the platter. If any of the peach slices stick to the pan, lift them off carefully and replace them on top of the cake. Serve the cake warm or cooled to room temperature, with crème fraîche on the side.

1 3/4 cups sugar
4 peaches, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 to 3 tablespoons bourbon
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely ground pecans
1 teaspoon baking powder

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches. If your peaches are not ripe, you can roast them in the oven for a few minutes to bring out their sweetness.
  • To make the bourbon whipped cream, be sure to use heavy cream that is at least 35% butterfat. This will help the whipped cream hold its shape.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet. Just be sure to preheat it over medium heat before adding the batter.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake. It should be cooked through, but still moist in the center.
  • Serve the cake warm with the bourbon whipped cream. You can also top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

This peach upside-down skillet cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet peaches, buttery cake, and creamy bourbon whipped cream is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
