In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Smooth the mixture out evenly on the bottom of a 9″ round cake pan or cast-iron skillet.
Deal the Upside-Down Peach Cornbread Cake on the dulcify mix in one bed. You can let them overlap slightly for a nice look! If you are more into spice, then just add a sprinkle of cinnamon over the peaches.
Put aside, and make the cornbread batter.

Whisk the Mix until combined in a large bowl — cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until there are no lumps.
Slowly stir in the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Upside-Down Peach Cornbread Cake care not to overmix; you want a fairly thick, lumpy batter as you would for cornbread.
3. Assemble the Cake
Slowly pour the cornbread mixture on top of the peaches in the cake pan. Spread it out to cover the peaches using a spatula.
Give the pan a little love tap on the counter to force any air bubbles up out of the mixture then pour over top of peaches.
4. Bake the Cake
Bake cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
The cake will be golden brown on top and should feel firm when it is finished.

After your Upside-Down Peach Cornbread Cake is all baked up… it’s time for the big reveal!

Extra Suggestions for the Upside-Down Peach Cornbread Cake
Fresh Peaches: Make sure to use really ripe and fresh peaches when they are in season for the best flavour and texture. Feel free to use frozen or canned peaches, but fresh is truly best for flavor!
Use a Cast-Iron Skillet: If you have one, using a cast-iron skillet is the BEST for this recipe. It makes the cake softer, even more and it helps to candy up the surface.
Spice It Up:Put a little ground nutmeg, ginger or cardamom in for Rich Peach Topping. The sweetness of the peaches will be totally complemented by these spices, and your dish will fell like warm pie.
Serve Hot – Make sure you serve this cake hot, right from the oven when peaches are all caramelized and gooey and cornbread is soft and moist.
STORAGE If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in your microwave or oven for that fresh-baked sensation.
