CHERRY UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Cherry Upside Down Cake image

I found this recipe on another site and want to try it sometime in the near future. DH is a big fan of anything that has cherries so I'm thinking he might like this. 2/25/07 Edited: I made this tonight and DH & I were both amazed. When I took it out of the oven there were no cherries on top. They all sink to the bottom and it's truly an upside down cake. I thought it might be real sweet but it isn't. It has a nice sweet/tart combination. We served it with vanilla ice cream and it is yummy.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
3 eggs (or as called for by the cake mix directions)
1/2 cup oil (or as called for by the cake mix directions) or 1/2 cup butter (or as called for by the cake mix directions)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by the cake mix directions)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans unsweetened tart red cherries, with juice
1 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon red food coloring
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter, melted
whipped cream (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix remaining ingredients until sugar and cornstarch are dissolved.
Pour or gently spoon cherry mixture over batter.
Bake for 50-60 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor.
If you don't have a 9-inch springform pan, you can use a 10-inch pan, but the cake will be thinner.
Be sure to grease and flour the pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate.
