Ingredients:

For Topping:

Non-stick cooking spray
15g unsalted butter, cold (about 1 tablespoon)
5g light brown sugar (about 6 teaspoons)

For Cake Batter:

3 fresh peaches
190g all-purpose flour (about 1 ½ cups)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
130g granulated sugar (about 2/3 cup)
90g unsalted butter, at room temperature (about 1/3 cup)
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
120ml buttermilk, at room temperature (about ½ cup)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the topping: Cut the cold butter into 12 equal parts and place each piece in a muffin cup. Sprinkle brown sugar into each cup. Slice 1-2 peaches into thin slices and arrange about 3 slices into the bottom of each muffin pan.
Prepare the cake batter: Cut the remaining peaches into small cubes to yield about 1 cup of cubed peaches. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar together until fluffy and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating for another 2-3 minutes until well combined and fluffy.
Add half of the flour mixture to the batter and beat for 1 minute on low speed. Stir in the buttermilk and beat for another minute. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat until just combined. Fold in the cubed peaches.
Divide the batter into the prepared muffin pan cups and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully run a butter knife around the edges to release them. Place a wire rack over the pan and carefully turn it upside down to remove the cakes.
Serve the mini cakes warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy the blissful flavors of Peach Upside Down Mini Cakes!

Notes:

For a variation, try using different fruits such as pineapple or mango in place of peaches.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results in baking.
Store any leftover cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving for a warm and comforting treat.
