Peach Lavender Upside Down Cake

Upside down cakes have been around since the 1800s, but the style of baking with fruit and cakes dates as far back as the Middle Ages with what was known first as skillet cakes. These were basically upside down cakes cooked in cast iron skillets. As kids we often had upside down cakes and for generations it has been brought to potluck and family gatherings.

I wanted to bring back this warm tradition for my kids. Well of course ours always has to have a lavender twist to it! Our White Lavender Cake Mix is similar to a sponge cake. Dense with a burst of beautiful lavender flavor.
