I am in the process of updating my work desk. ย When I say updating I mean organizing, simplifying and prettifying {not a word, but should be}. ย I have been spending an endless amount of time on Pinterest, Houzz and did I say Pinterest. ย Gah, I need to stop!

I am shooting for a space that is inspiring, comfortable and functional. ย What keeps happening is me finding photos of perfectly staged desks that are completely not functional, and now I want to paint the walls, change my desk top and pretty much redesign the whole room. ย  Nah, not really, but kind of.

Progress has been made and my desk is starting to become a place I look forward to sitting at and working at, spending time editing my photos and surfing Pinterest.

When I am not working on my new fabulous office space I have been in the market buying up all the gorgeous peaches. ย My hubby actually asked why I keep buying so many peaches? ย Duh, cuz their peaches. ย I love them! ย Guess what I love this cake, and so did the hubby, he stopped asking about the peaches after he had a slice of this scrumptious cake. ย This peach upside down cake is gluten-free and paleo friendly and so darn good. ย I hope you give it a try.

Are you as big a peach freak as I am? ย If not, what is your favorite summer fruit?Peach Upside Down Cake is gluten free and paleo friendly moist delicious recipe | ahealthylifeforme.com

    I adore peaches – and thankfully we have tons of them here in Georgia! But, I’ve never attempted a GF upside down peach cake before – this looks ah-mazing!

      Thanks Shashai, so jealous of your Georgia peaches. We were driving through once and we grabbed some on the roadside stand, by far the best peaches I have ever eaten. You definitely should be called the Peach state!

    I made this for my uncle’s birthday. He is not much of a dessert eater but he had two big pieces! My whole family wants me to make this again. I added 1 tsp of cinnamon to the topping. Scrumptious!

    This cake is amazing and my husband said its the best sugar free one I’ve made ๐Ÿ™‚ I’m always looking for wholesome cakes so we can have treats from time to time. I swapped out the maple syrup and coconut sugar for our preferred sweeten of rice malt syrup and it was delicious ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you!

    I made this today and it is so delicious. Thank you for the recipe. I did change things up just a bit: I tossed the peach slices with the 1/4 cup butter (melted), the coconut sugar (which I reduced to 1/4 cup) and some ground cinnamon before arranging them at the bottom of the buttered pan. I also used a bit more milk (I used coconut — by the way, in your recipe above it said “almond milk” but in the directions “coconut milk”) and a bit less maple syrup.
    I strongly suspect I will make this again very soon. I love peaches too — and nutritious cakes! ๐Ÿ™‚
