Moist buttermilk cake gets flipped upside down to reveal warm, caramelized peaches.I have always felt the marriage of cake and fruit to be powerful magic, especially when the elements in question are subtly segregated. A good example of this approach is the single-serving peach upside-down cake, which just might be my favorite breakfast food of all time.Both U.S. standard and metric measurements are listed, but for consistently delicious results, go metric. This recipe first appeared in Season 10 of Good Eats.
