Peach Upside Down Cake and the Weekly Menu #CakeSliceBakers

Fresh peaches are in season in Michigan right now and I am one happy camper.  This delicious cake starts with fresh peaches cooked in a caramel sauce and then topped with a simple white cake.  So very good.

I love fresh peaches so I was very excited that this cake was one of the choices for this month when peaches are ready for picking here in Michigan.  I used 2 large peaches for this cake.  I made some slight adaptations to the batter, using sour cream in place of plain yogurt because that was what I had in the refrigerator.

I baked this cake after dinner one night and enjoyed it for breakfast the next morning.  It is a perfect start to the day with a nice cup of coffee.

As I sat eating this cake I worked on my Weekly Menu.  This upcoming week is going to be a short one because we are leaving for vacation on Tuesday morning, heading up to the Upper Peninsula for some Pure Michigan fun.

Sunday we are having a potluck gathering at our house.  Our friends Rob and Linda are in town from AZ and some of our dive group is coming over to spend some time with them. My kids will be here also to help celebrate my birthday.  

You will find the recipe for today's Peach Upside Down Cake right below this abbreviated Weekly Menu.
