Cottage pudding upside down cake, a classic dessert with a unique twist, offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures. This timeless treat starts with moist and fluffy cottage pudding, topped with a layer of caramelized fruit, typically pineapple or peaches. As the cake bakes, the fruit releases its natural sugars, creating a sweet and sticky glaze that seeps into the pudding, resulting in a moist and flavorful cake with a golden-brown crust. Whether enjoyed warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or served chilled as a refreshing summer dessert, cottage pudding upside down cake promises to satisfy any sweet tooth.

COTTAGE PUDDING CAKE
This is one of my favorite family recipes. It is a simple, sturdy white cake with vanilla-flavored syrup poured atop. It is best served piping hot on a cold winter's day.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- For the cake, combine first seven ingredients (butter, sugar, egg, milk, flour, baking powder and salt). Pour batter into a greased 13" x 9" cake pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean.
- To make the sauce, combine the last five ingredients (sugar, boiling water, butter, flour and vanilla) in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. The sauce will be thin.
- Slice cake into 2-inch pieces and place each piece in a bowl to serve.
- Pour a liberal amount of the sauce over each warm piece of cake and serve immediately. Do not pour sauce over entire cake, as it will become soggy.
- Store left-over cake at room temperature for up to three days. Store sauce in refrigerator and warm in microwave when re-use desired.

- Grease and flour the pan: This will help the cake to come out of the pan easily.
- Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give the cake the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool before inverting it: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
