Mini Upside Down Peach Cakes
Fresh peach desserts are always a personal favorite. A peach upside down cake is a really delicious and special dessert for any occasion during peach season, so we turned it into a fun mini cake!
These mini cakes are filled with peaches and baked with sliced peaches, brown sugar, and sweet cream butter on the bottom of the pan. When you turn them over after baking, you have a perfect sweet peach topping.

How to Make Mini Peach Upside Down Cakes
Start by coating the cups of a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly between the cups and place a small cube of unsalted butter into the center of each cup. Peel and very thinly slice two peaches and lay the slices into the bottom of each muffin cup.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together 1/3 cup of the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well.
Beat in the flour mixture a little at a time. I added half, mixed well, then added the second half of the flour. Mix in the buttermilk until the cake batter is smooth.
Chop two peaches into small cubes and fold them into the cake batter.
Scoop the cake batter evenly into the muffin cups over the brown sugar, butter cubes, and peach slices.
Bake the mini peach upside down cakes at 350°F for about 25 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn them out onto a wire cooling rack.

Topping Ideas
These little peach cakes are perfect as they are, but you might want to add some extra toppings like these:
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla bean ice cream
- Warmed peach preserves
- Fresh peach slices
- Fresh raspberries
- Mint leaves
Storage and Reheating
If you won’t be eating the cakes right away, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To serve, warm the cakes for a few seconds in the microwave and add the toppings of your choice.
Can I Leave the Skin on the Peaches?
Yes, you can! If you like the texture and the extra pretty pink and peach colors from the skin, feel free to leave the skin on the peaches instead of peeling them.
