Upside Down Peach Cake

1/4 C. light brown sugar
2 C. sliced fresh peaches
1/2 tea. freshly-ground nutmeg or
    1 Tbsp. finely chopped crystallized ginger
1 C. flour
3/4 C. sugar
2 tea. baking powder
1/4 tea. baking soda
1/4 tea. salt
1 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 C. low-fat buttermilk
1 tea. vanilla extract or flavoring

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lightly wipe the bottom of an 8-in. square cake pan with canola oil. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan evenly with the brown sugar. Arrange the peaches in the pan in a tight pinwheel pattern. Sprinkle with nutmeg or ginger. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the softened butter, buttermilk and vanilla extract or flavoring; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour the batter over the peaches, and bake for 50 min. to 1 hr., until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
