I used pitted apricots!

I used fresh apricots from our tree. I agree with other reviewers about the cake's texture and spices. I too added cinnamon as it seems strange without it. I might reduce the butter. I used Splenda Brown Sugar and regular Spenda for the cake mixture as I did not have Splenda for Baking on hand. The recipe worked fine anyway. Baked using regular (not convection) bake.

I left out the nutmeg but didn't miss the flavor. I agree that the cake had an unusual texture but the flavor reminded me of a shortbread. Very buttery tasting. I used fresh sliced peaches which are in season now so they were great. I cooked this in my convection oven for 40 minutes and it cooked up fine. I gave it only 4 stars because it was too rich tasting for me. Thanks for the recipe.

This had a good flavor, but came out really mushy. My fiance loved it, and it was definately enjoyable, but the texture was a little strange. I added 1 tsp of vanilla to the cake batter.

excellent cake!!! I did not have any fresh peaches and used canned ones. I would advise anyone doing this to make sure the peaches are very dry or decrease the amount of butter in the bottom of the pan, otherwise you will end up with soggy (still delicious) cake. I added cinnamon and vanilla extract to the cake batter and it was perfect. Will definately make again!!

This is great!! We always had Pineapple growing up this is a great way. We live near tons of peach farms so this is a great way to use some of them up! I do agree that adding almond or Vanilla makes it so much better!

I waited 6 months for fresh peaches just to make this upside down cake. It didn't come together for me. After the required baking time the batter was still runny in the center. Even after baking an additional 15 minutes, the batter did't get done. Needless to say I was disappointed.

Try canned peaches, my fresh peaches were a little too bitter. I drizzled a tiny bit of liquid heavy whipping cream over and around my slice. Excellent! I also added a bit of almond extract to the cake mixture and topped the peaches with a bit of cinnamon and sugar. When I tried to spread the mix over the peaches, it made the cinnamon kind of swirl a little into the batter, which tasted great. Mine would have burnt if I kept it in the oven 40 minutes. It was done at 25. Yummy! Next time I will try canned peaches.

This recipe is so easy and the end result is WONDERFUL! I followed suggestions and added vanilla,cinamon and some of the peach juice...had to use canned because the peaches in the store were HARD...

This turned out fabulous. I followed another cook's advice and added some almond extract--just perfect! It had a great flavor and my cake wasn't crumbly at all!

This recipe was so simple and so delicious! I invited my grandparents over for dinner and made this for dessert and my grandmother took the recipe home with her! (That's saying a lot too!) Thanks for a yummy finish to a wonderful evening!

We all absolutely loved this cake! It was so moist and delicious! I used sliced peaches instead of the halves and I think that worked a lot better. The only problem I had was that I had to cook it 55 minutes since at 40 the middle was still very runny. That meant the edges got burned, but since it's an upside down cake I was able to cut them off easily and no one was the wiser (except my husband when he found the edges in the trash).

Not bad...I would rather use slices instead of the halves. I enjoyed it with some ice cream on top.

This was my first time making an upside down cake. I must admit this is now my new favorite recipe. I used fresh peaches and added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. It was delicious. I have four kids 2 of which are fairly picky and they also gobbled it up. Thank you.

This is a very moist, tasty and good cake. I read the reviews about the bland cake. I then added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tsp. almond flavoring. I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9 x 13 pan. I used leftover fresh peaches that I had sliced with a little sugar the night before. I poured the peaches and the juice in the bottom of the pan. It all cooked into the cake and made a very pretty and moist looking cake. Very easy and very good!
