First time receipe, came out perfect. Cake was moist and white peaches were so sweet. I had a bunch of sweet, ripe white peaches so this recipe was great. Super easy and very yummy. I wish icould post a picture because it was beautiful!

This cake is very delicious , I used 1/2 cup of cashew milk in place of regular milk to give it a little nut flavor. My family loves this cake.

I had a craving for something with almond flavoring and a stack of peaches to use up, so I made this recipe but substituted the vanilla with almond extract at a 1 for 1 ratio. It was DELICIOUS! So easy! Thanks!

I followed the recipe to a tee and still turned out really doughy and had no rise to it. Would not recommend.

This cake looks and tastes like you spent alot of time and preparation, but is so simple to make. As other reviews said, no problem flipping, and getting out of the pan. Just the right amount of butter and brown sugar. Not overly oily and sweet, perfection. !!

Delicious! Just as good as pineapple upside down cake! My husband doesn't care for peaches but he likes this cake!

Absolutely delicious and easy to make! It's a bit of a fusion between monkey bread and peach cobbler. The cake is lighter so it balances well with the heavier peach and brown sugar top (which I added a touch of cinnamon too!). I'll definitely make this again!

This cake is delicious and very easy to make! No problems getting it out of the pan. Substituted almond extract for vanilla.
