Feeling peachy keen this Wednesday morning with this recipe which has secured a spot as one of my old time favourites - upside down peach cake! My favourite bit of this cake has to be the gooey, caramelised peach topping that almost forms a layer of toffee over the entire cake and in the spirit of being OTT, I like to dowse it in warm vanilla custard before serving 😍 Would love to know what your favourite peach dessert is?
