In small saucepan, melt brown sugar with butter over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes; pour into prepared pan. Starting at edge, arrange peaches, slightly overlapping, in concentric circles to cover completely. Sprinkle with ginger; set aside.
Cake: In large bowl, beat butter with sugar until fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in vanilla.
In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, orange rind, ginger and salt ; stir into butter mixture alternately with sour cream, making 3 additions of flour mixture and 2 of sour cream. Spoon over peaches and spread without disturbing peaches. Set on rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in bottom third of 350°F (180°C) oven until top springs back when lightly touched, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes. Invert onto flat serving plate.
