The more I try not to eat sweets, the more I get the urge to bake! I made this cake earlier in the week and thought I would share the recipe with you.
This came from an old Everyday Food magazine.
Apple-Cinnamon Upside-Down Cake
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup packed light brown sugar
3 apples, Empire or Gala (about 1½ pounds), each peeled, cored and sliced into 8 wedges
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup whole milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat bottom and side of 9-inch round cake pan with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle bottom with brown sugar. In a medium bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; arrange in prepared pan in two concentric circles (you might not use all of them).
In a medium bow, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat remaining 8 tablespoons butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until incorporated. With mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture in three parts and the milk in two, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
Spoon batter over apples in pan; smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool cake in pan on wire rack, at least 30 minutes and up to 6 hours (if cake has risen above rim of pan, simply push back inside rim.)
To serve, run a knife around edge of pan, and invert cake onto a rimmed platter.
Grab a cup of tea (or coffee) and enjoy the weekend!

Gina, this cake is beautiful! Reminds me of a tart tatin. I am the same way with sweets/diet/baking. Oh well. :) xo
ReplyDeleteI try not to eat sweets too but sometimes you can splurge! This sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteGina, this looks heavenly...just a pretty, pretty cake! My hubs loves Pineapple Upside Down Cake so I'm sure he would love this. Thanks so much for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!

Looks so good Gina and you did a fab job on it!
ReplyDeleteYummy! You are right just looking at this cake makes me want a coffee!!
ReplyDeleteGina- That looks SOOO good. I don't eat flour or sugar but I bake all the time for my family. I think it is easier for me because I KNOW I am not going to eat it so I can bake to my heart's content. I am copying this recipe over to try it. Wouldn't that be a good breakfast goody? xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis looks divine! You know, I've been watching a lot of the info re: the Titanic on the Discovery Channel today. My mantra has always been "Don't skip dessert ~ see what happened with the ladies on the Titanic!" :-) Seriously, I try to watch it but I have a real sweet tooth and love to bake too.
ReplyDeleteThis would be delish with a hot cup of coffee! Thanks so much for sharing ~

ReplyDeleteYummy! That looks delicious you domestic diva you! Hope all is well in your part of the state:) (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteOh my Gina. Wish I could just have a small bite. I haven't made a pineapple upside down cake in ages, I would have to follow a recipe to make it. Yours looks yummy, ready to eat. Thanks Gina for sharing.
ReplyDeletethat looks beautiful!! a ribbon winner!! I have never baked this cake. thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good Gina! I love to bake for my husband and boys, it's so calming for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI just read your previous post about taking your daughter to see Phantom. My ex-husbands uncle was in it at the end of the 80's, early 90's...he played Piangi. We went to see it and I was 2 months pregnant with my first son, I had horrible morning sickness so whenever I hear the music now I get morning sickness flashbacks..weird!
OH my your cake looks deelish!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Olivia
Gina, what a beautiful cake! I am the same - I am trying to lose a few before summer and I just want to bake and then blogging and seeing everyone's great recipes wants me to do it more! We just got back from Spring Break - hence the Cabo Barbie post and now I have to lose those pounds. Plain salads just aren't that bloggable!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a good looking cake you've got there.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
Pat
