Upside-down cake
Upside-down cake is a type of cake that is baked in a single pan, then turned over and served upside-down. The most common version is the pineapple upside-down cake, but many variations exist, including apple, peach, and cherry.
History[edit | edit source]
The upside-down cake has a long history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Early versions of the cake were made in cast iron skillets on top of the stove. The cake was cooked upside-down, then flipped over to reveal a design on top. The modern version of the upside-down cake, with its signature layer of caramelized fruit, became popular in the United States in the early 20th century.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The upside-down cake is unique in its preparation. The bottom of the pan is lined with the chosen fruit and sugar, which caramelizes during baking. The cake batter is then poured over the fruit and the cake is baked. Once the cake is done, it is inverted onto a serving plate, revealing the caramelized fruit on top.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the pineapple upside-down cake is the most well-known version, many other variations exist. These include the apple upside-down cake, the peach upside-down cake, and the cherry upside-down cake. Each variation uses a different type of fruit, but the basic preparation method remains the same.
