Southern Peach Upside-Down Cake
A dear friend from the South gave me the idea for this peachy cake. I add bourbon and top each slice with vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. —Trista Jefferson, Batavia, Ohio

Easy and delicious are exactly what I'm looking for in a summer dessert. The cake batter doesn't look like enough but I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect size cake. It was very moist. I left the out the bourbon but will definitely add it next time.
Delicious!!! Family loved it. I used Amaretto instead of Bourbon. Definitely will make again.
Great recipe. I only made a minor change because of the peaches I had. My peaches weren't as ripe as I would have liked and I wasn't sure they would have had enough peach flavor. I didn't have Peach Schnapps, so I added a 1 Tbs Apricot Brandy along with the Bourbon. I used 3 peaches which ended up yielding 3 cups and let them soak in a pie plate so that it would distribute evenly. Wasn't sure if it would bubble over so I put a tray underneath. Also, it will seem like not enough batter, but it was perfect. I turned it out onto a foil lined rimmed sheet (because I had more liquid). It turned out wonderful. It is definitely a keeper !
Loved this recipe. Didn’t have any bourbon still fantastic. Will have bourbon next time! There will be a next time!
I made this recipe exactly as written (with the bourbon), and it was AMAZING! The bourbon was subtle enough that the kids still liked it, but also pronounced enough that the adults appreciated that the flavor was there. This is definitely a keeper.
