spicy peach cake

I wanted cake and peaches. My husband said no more pudding. I really like the sweet tart of the peaches and the gentle heat of the spices. My friend Marcel and I agree that I need to come up with a peach preserve and brandy/rum sauce to pour over the top.

This spice cake is wonderful! It's an upside-down peach cake full of yummy warm spices. Once baked, the spiced peaches on top become like a peach pie filling. The cake is fluffy, tender, and full of spices. We topped our slice with a little whipped cream. Just the right amount of richness.

How To Make spicy peach cake

Test Kitchen Tips
We recommend placing the springform pan on a sheet pan to avoid any messes. Also, we did have to bake ours 10 minutes longer. We suggest testing with a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, it's done.
  • Greasing a pan while the oven preheats.
    Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan.
  • Honey, sugar, and spices sprinkled over the peaches.
    Step 2
    Place peaches in a bowl. Sprinkle sugar and drizzle honey over the top. Sprinkle the nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves over the top. Stir to coat.
  • Peach mixture poured into pan dotted with butter.
    Step 3
    Pour the peach mixture into the pan. Dot with the butter cubes.
  • Cake mix, eggs, water, and spices mixed together.
