Peach and Pecan Upside Down Cake

The last of the summer's peaches, sliced and ready for this recipe:

I took the time to properly arrange the peach slices, but didn't have a good selection of pecan halves on hand, so I used the broken pieces:

There is also pecan, finely ground with spices and flour, mixed into the batter:

Whipping together the batter was the easy part of this recipe, in between all of the arranging, slicing and dicing:

And the resulting batter was thick and rich. I shouldn't tell you this, but I did lick the bowl:

The cake looks sort of unremarkable when it was ready to come out of the oven:

But once it was flipped over...

yum!
