In keeping with our mini-dessert theme, Victor headed into the kitchen and made a mini Peach Upside Down Cake – and it is outrageously good!  It’s one of those things that is so basic in concept and so over the top in flavor. One simple perfectly-ripe peach and a simple vanilla cake blend together to make an anything but simple-tasting dessert! It’s the ultimate in a few quality ingredients making a huge statement.

There’s no trick to this other than getting into the kitchen and making it!.
