Starfruit (Carambola) Upside Down Cake With Cake Mix image

This is a cheater's short cut as it uses a cake mix. However what is special is the addition of pudding and a bunch of eggs. It is rich and tasty.

Time 1h12m

Yield 1 Cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 star fruit, ribs and ends trimmed then slice 1/4-inch thick
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 signature pineapple supreme cake mix (Yellow will do, if you use that add pineapple and use pineapple juice instead of water)
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
4 large eggs
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I use canola)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bring sugar and water to a gentle boil in a wide (12 inch or more) saute pan. Add the star fruit in a single layer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, turning over halfway.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain in a large sieve or paper towels.
  • Melt butter over a low heat in a 12 inch cast iron skillet or other oven proof pan with a handle.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar and spread it to evenly cover the bottom of the skillet.
  • Arrange the star fruit in a single layer on the brown sugar/butter mix.
  • Combine the cake mix, pudding mis, eggs, water and oil. Beat for 2 minutes.
  • Pour batter gently over the star fruit and bake in the center of the oven for an hour or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Invert over a serving plate as soon as the cake comes out of th oven.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover starfruit. I always have a few extra starfruit after making smoothies and this is the perfect way to use them up.

I was pleasantly surprised by how moist and fluffy this cake was. I've made other upside-down cakes before that were dry and dense, but this one was perfect.
