Peach Upside-Down Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9-inch baking pan. Warm in a 350°F oven for about 5 minutes or until butter is melted. (Be sure to watch carefully to avoid browning the butter.) Remove pan from oven.
2. 2
   Add brown sugar, stirring until sugar is completely moistened. Spread sugar mixture evenly in pan. Arrange peach slices evenly over brown sugar mixture. Set aside.
3. 3
   In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
4. 4
   In a large bowl, beat remaining 1/2 cup butter. Beat in granulated sugar until well combined. Add egg and vanilla, beating until combined. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to beaten butter mixture just until combined.
5. 5
   Spread batter evenly over the peaches in the pan. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 5 minutes.
6. 6
   Loosen cake from sides of pan; invert onto a large serving plate. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve warm.
