boat galley peach upside-down cake
A comforting and sturdy upside-down cake featuring sweet sliced peaches caramelized in a brown sugar and butter glaze. Inspired by 'boat edition' baking, this recipe yields a dense, moist crumb that holds up well even if your oven temperature varies. While it may remain pale on the sides due to lower heat baking (common in galley ovens), the caramelized fruit topping provides plenty of color and flavor. Perfect for using up canned provisions or fresh fruit.
