There's something magical about flipping a cake onto a plate to reveal those beautiful caramelized peaches on top. This recipe is one of my go to desserts because it's honestly so simple to pull together. Fresh peaches are packed with vitamin C and fiber, which makes this indulgence feel a little bit lighter. The whole thing comes together in just about an hour, and most home cooks already have these pantry staples on hand, so you're not running to the store for anything fancy. Once you taste that buttery, nutmeg spiced cake paired with those sweet, jammy peaches, you'll understand why I make this again and again.
