UPSIDE-DOWN FRUIT CAKE



Upside-Down Fruit Cake image

Whatever your perception of fruit cake is, turn it upside down and inside out, because this is not the rock-hard loaf that's been passed around since times eternal. This version includes all the best of the classic ingredients-brandy, dried fruit, nuts, molasses and warming spices-just rejiggered into a cake that's soft, tender-crumbed and completely irresistible, if we do say so ourselves. It begins by combining dried cherries, apricots and pecans with melted butter and brown sugar. These ingredients go into the pan first and get topped with batter, because this fruit cake is also an upside-down cake. When it's turned out of its pan, the fruits and nuts are glossy, gooey and caramelized, which makes this cake so pretty that it really only needs a dollop of whipped cream to be complete. If you're ready to turn tradition on its head, give this modern take on fruit cake a try!

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
3 tablespoons whiskey or bourbon
3 red apples, unpeeled, quartered, cored, very thinly (1/4 inch) sliced
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
1 cup water
3/4 cup slivered almonds, finely ground
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
1/4 cup apple jelly
2 oz (from 8-oz container) mascarpone cheese, softened
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
Fresh cranberries and orange slices, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix dried cranberries, apricots, orange peel and bourbon. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Generously grease bottom and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans with shortening. Line bottom of each pan with cooking parchment paper. Grease parchment paper with shortening.
  • Line bottom and side of each pan with overlapping apple slices, cutting slices as necessary to line side of each pan.
  • In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, ground almonds, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in soaked dried fruit and ginger. Gently pour into pans over apple slices.
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately turn pans upside down to release cakes onto cooling racks.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave apple jelly uncovered on High 15 to 30 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds, until hot. Brush over apples on top and side of each cake to make shiny. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, whipping cream and sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. On serving plate, place one cake, apple side up. Top with whipped cream mixture. Gently place remaining cake layer on top of cream, apple side up. Garnish with fresh cranberries and orange slices. Cut into slices with serrated knife. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe fruit: This will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease and flour the pan well: This will help the cake come out of the pan cleanly.
  • 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 completely before inverting it: This will help prevent the fruit from falling off the cake.
