Upside-down peach zucchini cake
Cakes
As promised: another recipe to use up our seemingly endless supply of zucchini. <br /> <br />BUT, this recipe actually features peaches. As a part of the Lady Behind the Curtain Dessert Challenge, we were enticed to create a dessert using both peaches and cream. <br /> <br />A woman in my yoga class tipped me off that Red Haven peaches were available from the “peach lady” at our local farmers’ market. So of course I made a flying trip up there to get some! We are so fortunate to have our Michigan neighbors to the north just 25 minutes away, where we have access to their wonderful blueberries, cherries, apples and peaches. <br /> <br />While I can certainly get excited about peach pie, cobbler or smoothies, I have to say that my favorite way to eat a peach is to hold over the kitchen sink and dive into it whole. The juice just drips off my chin and runs down my arm, yet I enjoy every minute of it. <br /> <br />But I do love me some zucchini bread with all its variations (such as my Blueberry Lemon Zucchini Bundt Cake), so peaches just seemed to be the right choice in making an upside-down version. This cake is SOOO moist and tender, covered with a sticky peach pecan topping and served with a cool and fluffy peach liqueur cream. <br /> <br />I always give away most of the desserts that I make, so that they don’t take up permanent residence on my behind; but I have to say that I was very sad to see this one go. It’s a winner! <br /> <br />Got peaches?
