Happy New Year 🙂

Special day calls for a special dessert. Caramelized Apple Upside down cake is a perfect dessert for welcoming a new year:-)

Recently I had Pineapple upside down cake and was so tempted to the try it in home. Since I didn’t have pineapple, I thought of using apple for my cake. When I searched for the recipe I found upside down cake recipe in “Laura in the kitchen” channel. Followed her recipe with few changes

Ingredients:

For the caramel:

Light brown sugar – 1/3 cup

Butter – 4 tbsp

Cinnamon powder – 1/8 tsp

Apple – 2,  peeled, cored, thinly sliced

For the cake:

All-purpose flour – 1 cup + 1/3 cup

Apple – 1/4 cup, peeled, cored, finely chopped

Baking powder – 1 tsp

Nutmeg powder – 1/8 tsp

Cinnamon powder – 1/4 tsp

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Brown sugar – 1 cup

Butter – 1/2 cup, melted in room temperatures

Eggs – 2

Vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp

Milk – 1/3 cup

Method:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Add parchement paper to the  baking tray and grease it with butter/cooking spray. In a saucepan melt butter over medium heat until melted. Add the brown sugar. Bring it to a boil and remove from heat. Pour into the bottom of the greased pan. Arrange the apples circularly over the brown sugar mixture

  • Seive flour, baking powder and salt 2-3 times and keep aside.In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat till mixture becomes pale. Add milk and mix well

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes and invert gently. Run knife along the edges of the cake and flip upside down on a pan

My Notes:

  • Instead of apple, pineapple, peaches and any firm fruits can be used
  • Few drops of lemon juice can be added to prevent Chopped apple from turning brown when kept for a long time
  • Instead of baking them in a cake pan, can also bake them in muffin tray for individual serving
  • Cake tastes great with whipped cream. Beat whipping cream on high until soft peaks start to form, and add sugar
  • Self  raising flour can be used instead of all purpose flour and baking powder
  • Wheat flour can be used instead of all purpose flour

    My family loves this cake as it does not have any buttercream which they for some reason are too unfamiliar with and have never grown to like it, I have never made it at home so thank you for sharing 🙂

    I like the idea of this in a muffin tray. A friend and I are going to do some cooking and baking together and this may be a good choice for us – I’m the cook, she’s the baker and we are going to join forces! This sounds amazing and not too difficult for me under her tutelage!

    Hi Vidya, I somehow became busy with all of the hustle of study and life (playing a lot of chess recently!) and have not visited for a while, but I really do like this latest post for its adaptive idea and I also like your notes at the bottom, very helpful.
    Over Chrismas break, I had a terrible failure with a new pizza stone that got washed (by someone!) in soap, big mistake! When we used it next, it filled the kitchen with plastic smelling smoke… Alas, that pizza stone is toast, I trow. However, I have been trying my hand at tom kha soup with some success, so I am happy about that.
    By the way, what is your thought on reviving a pizza stone that has been tainted with soap?
    Best,
    D
