The first thing I needed to make this tasty dessert was a gluten free yellow cake mix.
I followed the package directions to make the cake batter.
Then I sprayed a 9″ cake pan with some cooking spray.
I melted some butter in the microwave.
Then I added some brown sugar to the melted butter.
Next, I spread the brown sugar mixture out in the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
I drained a can of peaches. Any thick slices I cut in half.
Then I arranged the drained peach slices in a single layer on top of the sugar mixture.
Next, I sprinkled some thawed raspberries on top of the peaches.
I poured the prepared cake mix evenly on top of the fruit in the cake pan.
Then I placed the Peach Raspberry Upside Down Cake in a preheated 350F oven for 45 – 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center come out clean.
After removing the cake from the oven I allowed it to cool for about 5 minutes.
Then I inverted the cake onto a serving plate.
Peach Raspberry Upside Down Cake is an easy dessert recipe that can be served warm or cold.
As it bakes, the fruit releases its juices, mingling with sugar to create a caramelized layer that’s rich and sweet, slightly tangy from the raspberries, and sticky in the most delicious way.
Served warm or at room temperature, this cake pairs well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a perfect dessert any time you want a fruity, comforting treat.

FAQS:
What should I serve with peach raspberry upside down cake?
Peach raspberry upside-down cake pairs well with several sides that can complement its fruity sweetness and enhance its flavors. Here are a few ideas:
- Whipped Cream or Vanilla Bean Ice Cream – These add a creamy texture that balances the fruity flavors. The lightness of whipped cream or the smoothness of ice cream enhances the warmth of the cake.
- Mascarpone Cream – A touch of mascarpone cheese mixed with a bit of honey or vanilla is richer than whipped cream but still light, adding a luxurious, slightly tangy counterpoint to the cake.
- Fresh Berries – A side of fresh raspberries or sliced peaches can echo the cake’s flavors while adding a pop of color and freshness to the plate.
- Herbal Infused Syrup – Drizzling a little basil or thyme-infused syrup brings an unexpected but delicious herbal note that complements the peach and raspberry.
- Toasted Almonds or Pecans – A sprinkling of toasted nuts adds a little crunch and depth of flavor, enhancing the cake’s natural sweetness.
- Lemon Zest Garnish – Just a bit of lemon zest grated over the top before serving adds a citrusy zing that enhances the brightness of the fruit.
Let me know if any of these sound good, or if you’d like ideas for specific flavors!
