BERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Berry Upside-Down Cake image

You can use any kind of berries - fresh or frozen - for this jammy twist on the classic pineapple upside-down cake. Just note that adding all or mostly blueberries and strawberries will create a sweeter topping than mixing in more acidic blackberries and raspberries. Caramelizing the brown sugar in a skillet before adding the fruit gives you a particularly deep, complex flavor. Because of the moisture in the topping, you'll need to bake this cake a little longer than other, similar butter cakes. You want the surface to be well browned all over, with dark brown edges that yield a slight crunch. Underbaked cake will be soggy, and apt to fall apart.

Time 1h

Yield 1 (10-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/71 grams light brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries (about 1 pound), quarter the strawberries, if using
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups/195 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that's OK.
  • Add fruit, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on bottom of skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt and baking soda into the batter, one at a time, and whisking vigorously after each addition.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that's OK. Don't overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly.
  • Bake until the surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling along the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula around the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake into serving platter. If some berries stick to bottom of skillet, gently remove using offset spatula or knife and place back onto cake. Let cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked.

BOOZY BERRY UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1/3 cup sweetened coconut
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
10 tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons tequila
1 cup blackberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup chopped strawberries
Canned whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the cake batter by combining the flour, granulated sugar, milk, sweetened coconut, baking powder, coconut extract, salt, egg and 8 tablespoons butter in a mixing bowl. Beat until well combined, then set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Swirl to coat the base and sides of the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter and drizzle over the tequila. Evenly distribute the berries over the bottom of the skillet.
  • Pour over the batter and smooth gently. Bake until golden and a toothpick or skewer comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake, about 45 minutes.
  • Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so that the cake is turned onto the plate. (It should come out fairly easily.) Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving warm with canned whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh berries. If you are using frozen berries, be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • If you don't have a 9-inch springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

This three-berry upside-down cake is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
