Another delicious Cake Slice bake! All thanks to Laura, our cake group administrator, who now has the task of selecting our Cake Slice choices of the month. Every month our bakers chooses from four recipes selected. We no longer vote, but simple choose one. This way we have more flexibility and we cover more delicious cakes from our current book "The Southern Cake Book" by Southern Living.
My selection this month is Peach Upside-Down Cake! A first for me. I chose a delicious freestone peach for my recipe. Clings are actually my favorite. As kids we use to pick Cling peaches during summer break, it was hard work, but much needed money for our school clothes, along with the lesson of the value of a dollar. I'm forever great full to my mother for instilling these values in her children. I've never forgotten the hard work in the fields, and appreciate the hard work of our farm laborers. My Mother is an incredibly hard working person, and couldn't be more prouder to have her as a Mother.

We have two more bakes before we start our new book in November. We are still deciding what baking books will be up for vote, and will release the winning selection in November. If you wish to join the Cake Slice bakers, I should have the information next month on how to join. We bake once a month, and blog and post on the 20th of each month. Keeping the selected recipe secret until the revealing day.
I doubled the recipe, and had no problems. I did swap the vanilla bean for vanilla extract. I used a 12" cast iron skillet, and lowered the temperature to 325 degrees half way through. I loved everything about this cake, from the delicious caramel like sauce, to the buttery silky cake! You must try this recipe! I've been trying to keep this from being devoured in one day, but my family keeps nagging me for another slice, and might just have to give in.
Please visit my Cake Slice friends for their baking adventure this month!
