Apple-Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake image

We love the combination of classic fall fruits in this cake. I bake the apples on the bottom to keep them plump and moist, then flip the cake so they're on top. This is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, but we enjoy digging in any time of day. -Christina Yahraes, San Francisco, California

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For a moist and flavorful cake, use a variety of apples that are known for their baking qualities, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and core the apples: Make sure to peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to remove any tough or bitter parts of the apples and ensure that the cake has a smooth texture.
  • Grate the apples and pumpkin: Grating the apples and pumpkin will help them to blend into the batter more easily and evenly. This will also help to create a more moist and tender cake.
  • Use fresh pumpkin purée: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh pumpkin purée instead of canned pumpkin. You can make your own pumpkin purée by roasting a pumpkin and then puréeing it in a food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through. Don't underbake the cake, or it will be too moist and dense.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin apple cake is a delicious and festive fall dessert that is perfect for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or any other autumn gathering. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and tangy flavor, and beautiful presentation, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give pumpkin apple cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
