    Tips and Variations:

    • Feel free to use frozen sliced peaches if canned or fresh is unavailable. 
    • Over-mixing the batter will result in a dense cake. Only mix until you no longer see dry ingredients.
    • Cool the peach upside-down cake for at least 10 minutes to ensure the cake doesn’t fall apart when flipping it over. 
    • Store the cake in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    In a separate bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat the mixture on high speed until stiff. Pour the mixture into the batter and fold in until just combined.

    Pour the batter over the peaches and spread evenly, being careful not to disturb the peaches:

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake, comes out clean.

    Allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. Flip the pan over onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature:

      This is a great recipe. I wanted something lighter than the way I remember upside down cakes, so I thought separating the eggs and whipping the whites to fold in at the end might be what I needed. I did use Cake Flour adding 3 Tbsps. according to directions I found for substituting Cake Flour.
      I used frozen peaches and strawberries that I thawed before putting them in the pan.
      My grandchildren loved it! So did their parents.
