Canned Peach Upside Down Cake

Got a can of peaches in the cabinet? Good! This Canned Peach Upside Down Cake is a nice little cake we can make any time of year but I thought it would be perfect for Easter. I love the addition of spices to the brown sugar topping and the most time consuming part is cutting the peach slices in half. In other words, this fancy little dessert comes together in less than 30 minutes and looks pretty impressive:@) Toss a few maraschino cherry halves in with the peaches if you'd like an extra pop of color (or at least one in the very center!).

Full disclosure: I forgot to add the 3 Tblsp melted butter to the batter... We didn't miss it. 
So if you'd like to shave a few extra calories off, you don't need to add the extra butter.
But, if making for a holiday-go ahead and add the butter:@)

  1. Spray 9" cake pan with cooking spray.

  5. Bake at 350 degrees 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in pan 10 minutes, turn upside down onto serving platter.
