Just PEACHY!

Once again our peach tree has given us a more-than-we-can-eat supply of peaches.
So yep, here's it is...

Upside Down Peach Cake
6 peaches (halved and peeled)
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup water 
120g butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt 

Preheat oven to 180°F 
Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan or spring-form pan.
Place peaches cut side down in a large pan with brown sugar, vanilla and water.
Simmer 5 minutes. Cool.
Combine butter and sugar and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.
Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. 
Add flour, salt and syrup from cooked peaches; beat until blended.
Place peaches cut side down in prepared pan; top with batter. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
(I made 4 individual cakes with this recipe)
