I’ve got an upside down cake for nearly all occasions. From my Pineapple Upside Down Cake, to my Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake, then there’s my Caramel Pecan Upside Down Cake, a Strawberry Upside Down Cake, I even have some Bacon Upside Down Cornbread if you’re craving something savory. I just love how fun and easy they are.

So it made perfect sense to take another one of my favorite fruits and give it the upside down treatment as well. Introducing my Peach Pecan Upside Down Cake.

This super delicious and crazy easy confection starts with a boxed cake mix, but we kick it up about 12 notches. And peaches and pecans are the perfect complements to the caramel flavors running through this dessert.  The only thing better than the flavor is just how easy it is.

Now, while this recipe calls for a 10.5-inch cast iron skillet, a deep 10-inch cake pan or springform pan will work if you don’t have one.

Leave plenty of room after your entree for this irresistible dessert fit-for-the gods. (Southern Bite)
