3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans
10 slices (1/2 inch thick) French bread

UPSIDE-DOWN COFFEE CAKE



Upside-Down Coffee Cake image

This is a gorgeous moist and gooey coffee cake! Use any type of fresh or frozen fruit, or combination of 2 fruits. Peach, cherry, blackberry and/or red raspberry are some of the best. The deep baking pan is required due to the bubbling caramel sauce and the height of the cake. Every time I serve it I get rave reviews!

  • If you don't have a skillet large enough to accommodate the fettuccine, you can cook it in batches.
  • Be careful not to overcook the fettuccine, as this will make it mushy.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure to brown the butter and sugar mixture until it is a deep golden color.
  • If you are using a store-bought jar of Alfredo sauce, be sure to doctor it up with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese, garlic, and herbs.
  • To make the Upside-Down Fettuccine Bake ahead of time, assemble the dish and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • When you're ready to bake the Upside-Down Fettuccine Bake, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before placing it in the oven.
