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!

Time 50m

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup dark-brown sugar
4 apples (about 1 3/4 pounds), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup dark molasses
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/4 cups flour

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger provides a vibrant, spicy flavor to the cake. If using ground ginger, use half the amount specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a nonstick baking pan: A nonstick baking pan will help prevent the cake from sticking and make it easier to remove.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it: This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
