I haven't seen any cranberries around my grocery store quite yet, so I had to improvise this week and take advantage of the last of the summer-fruit bounty. I had some gorgeous, plump white peaches that fit the bill. I did a mini-happy-dance when I flipped the cake over and it unmolded perfectly - not a single stuck peach slice! However, since I used white peaches, the fruit didn't stand out the way I would have like it to. Cranberries would have been much prettier.
The nutty, caramel topping that gets poured into the pan before the peaches and the batter was a definite winner in my books. It suited the cake and fruit flavors to a tee. I imagine this recipe working well with any fruit - berries, apple, plums?
Sabrina of Superfluous chose Cranberry Upside-Downer on page 206 for this week's Tuesdays with Dorie bake-along recipe. Check out her blog for the recipe.

That looks heavenly! If I could grab it off the screen, I would.
Wow, love that you used peaches. It looks so good. Would love to try a piece of yours!
I love the idea of using peaches. I even thought apples would be delicious too! So many ways to make these cakes!
Lovely!
Mmmm. Just delicious looking! I went with a peach version as well.
I'm beginning to think peaches are the way to go next time. Your cake looks delicious.
I think it looks really pretty and very tasty! I used cherries!
Oh, I think your cake is beautiful! Not with bright cranberry colors but with a gorgeous golden color with the tans and browns of fall. Looks so yummy!
It's gorgeous! Nice job!
Beautiful, Tia! I love peaches - bet your version was delicous! :)
White peaches are so juicy and sweet! I bet they were perfect with the cake. :)

Your white peach upside down cakes looks great to me! I loved this dessert and will make it again when the cranberries come in.

lovin' the white peach version! yum!
I made this last year, but with nectarines. I love this recipe because I think most fruits would work in it, just like you said!
Oh yum! I bet your version with white peaches was delicious!
Your white peach version looks fantastic! Delicious :-)
Your peach version may not be as flashy but I think I would like it much better than the cranberries although I have tried them. It IS exciting when something "turns out" like you hope.
I was in one store and the sign for peaches said "southern peaches". They were pretty light and in color and looked lovely. Then I went to another store where I actually bought the peaches and the sign said peaches from New Jersey! Whadda ya think!!!????
The peaches look beautiful. I think they stand out just fine.
regardless of the fruit used, upside-down cakes are always beautiful thanks to that gooey caramel topping. nice work!
yes, the white peaches sound perfect
Your cake looks great with the white peaches!
A great use for the last of the summer peaches! They are finished here, sadly. I think I will try this with plums.
