  1. Upside-down cake

    An upside-down cake is a cake that is baked "upside-down" in a single pan, usually a skillet, with its toppings at the bottom of the pan. When removed from the oven, the finished upside-down preparation is flipped over and de-panned onto a serving plate, thus "righting" it, and serving it right-side up.Usually chopped or sliced fruits — such as apples, cherries, peaches, or pineapples — butter, and sugar are placed on the bottom of the pan before the batter is poured in, so that they form a baked-on topping after the cake is inverted. A simple cottage pudding cake batter may be used.The first American recipes for upside-down cake, using prunes, appeared in newspapers in 1923.Traditional upside-down preparations include the American pineapple upside-down cake, the French Tarte Tatin, and the Brazilian or Portuguese bolo de ananás (also known as bolo de abacaxi). In the United States, pineapple upside down cakes became popular in the mid-1920s after Dole Pineapple Company sponsored a contest for pineapple recipes. They received over 2,500 various submissions for the inverted pineapple cake and ran an advertisement about it, which increased the cake's popularity.

  1. upside-down cake

    An upside-down cake is a type of dessert cake that is baked with its toppings at the bottom of the pan. This is usually a layer of fruit such as cherries, pineapple or apples, with a caramelized sugar mixture. The batter is then poured over this layer and when done, the cake is flipped upside down to serve, so the topping becomes the decorative upper side of the cake. One of the most popular versions is the pineapple upside-down cake.
