When the stone fruits come in good and ripe it's time for upside down
cakes.

You can make the cake batter from scratch or use a good yelllow cake
mix, but the most important part is the ripe fruit, butter and brown
sugar.

Put a layer of brown sugar on the bottom of the pan you are using (I
use a cast iron skillet). Arrange slices of the ripe fruit (my
favorite is peaches) Pour melted butter over the fruit and brown
sugar.
Pour the cake batter over all and bake till toothpick done.

Invert the cake right out of the oven onto a nice cake plate.

Try not to eat it all in one sitting.

Of course you can always do the pineapple thing which is perfectly
lovely, but stone fruits like peaches, apricots, nectarines, etc., are
just scrumptions IMHO.
