This Amaretto Peach Upside-Down Cake is far from ordinary with added moisture from Greek Yogurt and a flavorful sauce with fresh peaches and alcohol. Serve it warm for an unforgettable, decadent cake experience! This cake barely survived long enough for me to take pictures of it with idle little hands!
Fall is quickly approaching and I am SO ready for all the fresh peach and apple recipes with loads of cinnamon (can’t have too much). This cake has plenty of added flavor with the addition of an Amaretto sauce with brown sugar and cinnamon added to the top of fresh, juicy peaches…yes please! The addition of alcohol to baked goods just really makes me happy! Take note of all that yummy sauce dripping down the cake after a magical flip job situation. A super easy dessert without the headache of a rolling pin is definitely in order here. Just prepare yourself for the loss of all self-control.
It has been a rather rough week, both of my kids got sick after my daughter’s first day of pre-school. Let the germ-sharing party begin, right? I’m going to start bathing her in hand sanitizer before bringing her home everyday. I’m also still trying to recover from the shock of returning to my social services job after having a week off and traveling to Jamaica…reality has officially hit! The only way to get through it is a slice of this cake, which is currently unavailable. Hmmm…I will have to settle for a Georgia Peach Martini (or 2) and call it a day. Please sleep little ones!
