Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 medium peaches, peeled
- 1-ounce finely chopped crystallized ginger, approximately 3 tablespoons
- 2.5 ounces all-purpose flour, approximately 1/2 cup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream or ice cream, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Divide 2 tablespoons of the butter between 4 (6-ounce) ramekins. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and set aside. Evenly divide the brown sugar between the ramekins; sprinkling it into the bottoms of the dishes. Cut each peach into 12 to 14 pieces. Lay the peaches on top of the sugar; evenly dividing them between the dishes and sprinkle with the ginger. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir just until combine. Pour the batter over the peaches; dividing the mixture evenly between the dishes. Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cake reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Remove from the oven to a rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of each dish and turn upside down onto a serving plate. Repeat with each cake. Serve immediately with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.

Super easy and quick! Perfect portion, tastes amazing! Ginger really brings a great element to this recipe too.
Amazing! I didn’t have peaches, so I used Peacharines. The candied ginger added the perfect touch.
oh my! this was great!! loved the ginger in with the peaches. Am going to do this for a dinner party while peaches are still in season!!
So good. I don’t own any ramekins so I just made them in sturdy coffee mugs and cut the time by 10 minutes. It worked great. Fabulous recipe
Unbelievably AWESOME!!!! Made a tiny change – slightly (and I mean slightly less ginger – maybe 2 and 1/2 TBS instead of three. Otherwise, made it as written and cooked until the top was GB&D (golden brown and delicious for those who don’t regularly watch Alton. Had with ice cream.
My favorite peach dish used to be cobbler – not anymore – this is the best!!Can’t wait to make for company. So easy and so delicious.

Peach upside-down cake was peachy-keen. Made it once myself. Then made it with 3 11–year-old grandkids who are interested in cooking. It was a ball. The kids learned new skills like pealing peaches, shared tasks & tools, used patience, and happily reaped the rewards of their efforts. They even did well at clean-up. We all had a blast – a special time with grandma & the grandkids.
Used Whole Wheat Pastry Flour and Earth Balance to make this vegan and it was still delicious.
I made this with pears and it was fabulous! I tested this before serving it at my dad`s 93rd birthday dinner. I`m going to top it with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream, as I think it`s sweet enough on it`s own. I love ginger, but I`m going to cut back to 2 T., as I think it was a little overpowering. I`ll be making this again when peaches are in season.
Really good! I was watching Good Eats and saw this recipe and just had to try it! However, instead of peaches, I substituted apples and added cinnamon on top instead of ginger! It turned out delicious and highly recommend this!
Loved the flavor and tenderness of the cake. My peaches were juicy and ripe which took the cake to another level! I only wish the fruit got some carmelization while baking.. Mine did not.
