How to Make Peach Upside Down Cake {Easy Individual Size}
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Prepare jumbo muffin cups: Spray each well of a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray.
3. Add first brown sugar layer: Divide 4 Tbsp melted butter among wells, adding about 2 tsp to each, then evenly sprinkle 1 tbsp of the brown sugar into each well over butter.
4. Top with peaches: Layer peaches over brown sugar layer, adding four slices to each well.
5. Make batter: In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda and salt for 20 seconds. Make a well in center of flour mixture. In a separate mixing bowl mix together sugar and 3 Tbsp melted butter then whisk in egg, vanilla and buttermilk, mixing until well blended. Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and using a wooden spoon, stir just until combined.
6. Spoon batter over peach layer: Divide mixture among muffin cups adding about a 1/4 cup to each, then spread into an even layer.
7. Bake until set: Bake in preheated oven until toothpick comes out clean (or with a crumb or two), about 18 – 21 minutes.
8. Cool briefly and invert: Let cool 5 minutes. Run a knife around edge to loosen if needed then set a wire rack over pan and invert onto wire rack.
9. Cool and garnish: Let cool and serve topped with whipped cream and decorate with raspberries and mint or serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
