Individual Upside-Down Peach Cakes

Happy Saturday!

I am not baking today, but here is an easy ("kicked up" cake mix) recipe.  You really can do a LOT with a cake mix!  It's a great base.  Never be afraid to create things in the kitchen!

Individual Upside-Down Peach Cakes (4)

1 box of yellow cake mix (usually use the butter recipe golden-Duncan Hines, but any are fine)
1 small box of instant vanilla pudding mix
3 eggs
1 cup of vegetable oil
4 Tbls. brown sugar
1 peach
1 Tbl cinnamon
2 Tbls. butter or margarine
4 mini souffle dishes

*preheat oven to 350 degrees.  spray inside of dishes with Pam for Baking.  Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil together thoroughly.  Slice peach fairly thin.  Place 1/2 a Tbl of butter or margarine at the bottom of each dish.  Mix together brown sugar and cinnamon, and place about a Tbl in each dish.  Place a layer of peaches on brown sugar mixture.  Fill dish with cake mixture 3/4 of the way.  Place souffle dishes on a baking sheet or jelly roll pan, and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes.  (I always set my timer for 20 minutes, then start watching) You want them golden brown, and not jiggly.  You can use a cake tester or toothpick to stick in the center of a cake.  It needs to come out clean, and it's done!  Remove from oven, and place souffle dishes on a wire cooling rack.  After about 5 minutes, take a sharp knife and run it around the sides of the cakes.  These are best served warm!  When ready to serve, flip dish over on plate, tap, and the cake should slide out onto plate. 
*Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a caramel sauce.  (which you can make or buy)

You can probably make this recipe with any fruit as well!! (apple, pear...yum!)

My last caramel sauce was not great, so I will be posting that a later date. ; )
