SWEET CHERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
There's a little black pepper in this cake, which provides just enough heat to enhance the sweetness of the cherries. If you're worried about the pepper, cut back on the amount called for, but if you're excited about it, you may want to double it. This is a sweet, rustic and rich upside-down cake that's sturdy enough to hold up to its juicy fruit topping. Once the finished cake gets inverted onto a platter, the extra cherry juice soaks back into the cake as it cools, which means it gets better as it sits. Serve the cake with lemon whipped cream made by beating cold heavy cream with the leftover lemon juice and some sugar until stiff. It's helpful for covering up any imperfections in the cake, too!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a 9-inch cake pan (or cast-iron skillet), add the cherries, brown sugar, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and 2 tablespoons melted butter; toss gently to combine. Place in the oven for up to 10 minutes to begin softening the cherries while you make the cake batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks, granulated sugar, sour cream, vanilla and baking soda with the remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth. Sprinkle the flour over top then fold it in until evenly combined and a thick batter is formed.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a medium mixing bowl with a handheld electric beater, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes or until stiff. Add 1/3 of the beaten egg whites to the cake batter and gently fold, then add the remaining egg whites and fold until fully incorporated, trying to keep as much air as possible in the whites.
- Remove the hot pan from the oven, shake it gently to toss the fruit a final time, then dollop the cake batter over the top, and gently spread it evenly to the edges. (It's OK if some fruit juice or cherries pool over the edges of the batter.)
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, run a butter knife around the edges, and then allow it to rest for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a lipped platter to catch any juices.
- Once the cake has cooled, make the lemon whipped cream, if desired: In the cleaned bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or in a medium mixing bowl using a handheld beater, add the heavy cream, lemon juice and granulated sugar, and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds to thicken and combine, then turn the speed to high and beat until desired stiffness.
- Serve the cake at room temperature, with lemon whipped cream, if using.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F Grease 11 x 7 inch glass baking dish. Microwave 1/4 cup butter in medium microwave-safe bowl on high 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in brown sugar; microwave 30 to 60 seconds or until sugar is melted and mixture is thick and bubbly. Stir in cinnamon. Pour over bottom of baking dish; top with cherries in single layer.
- Whisk flour, nutmeg, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Beat butter and almond extract in large bowl at medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in sugar, increase speed to medium-high; beat 4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, beat in flour mixture in 3 parts alternately with sour cream just until smooth, beginning and ending with flour mixture. (Batter will be thick.) Spoon and gently spread batter over cherries.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until cake is golden brown, toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake springs back when gently pressed.
- Cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Run thin knife around edge of cake to release from pan. Cover with rimmed platter, invert cake on platter. (If any cherries have stuck to pan, place them back on cake.).
- Beat all whipped cream ingredients in medium bowl at medium-high speed until firm but not stiff peaks form. Serve cake warm with whipped cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your cake the best flavor.
- Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to do this.
- Make sure the butter and sugar are creamed together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake light and airy.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cherries from falling out of the cake.
