Cottage Pudding - Upside Down Cake image

This is my husband's favorite. I first made it over thirty years ago. You can use canned peaches or pineapple in place of the sliced apples.

Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup packed brown sugar
3 apples - peeled, cored and sliced
½ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour melted butter into the bottom of an 8 inch square pan. Tilt the pan so that it is evenly coated. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Arrange the apple slices to cover the brown sugar, set aside. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and white sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Pour into the baking pan so that the fruit is completely covered.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted, comes out clean. Immediately invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm with ice cream or sauce.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out very well. It was still edible, but it was a bit dry and the topping was too runny.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

I'm not a huge fan of pineapple, so I substituted another fruit in the topping. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't look anything like the picture. It was still tasty, but it was a bit disappointing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The cottage pudding was a bit dry, and the pineapple topping was too runny.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
