APPLE-PUMPKIN UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Apple-Pumpkin Upside-Down Cake image

We love the combination of classic fall fruits in this cake. I bake the apples on the bottom to keep them plump and moist, then flip the cake so they're on top. This is best served warm with vanilla ice cream, but we enjoy digging in any time of day. -Christina Yahraes, San Francisco, California

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise properly.
  • Use a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 9-inch springform pan for this recipe. A cast iron skillet will give the cake a crispy crust, while a springform pan will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan.
  • Don't 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 at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Serve the cake warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
