UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE RECIPES FOR EASY DESSERTS
There is something unique about the simple elegance that comes with an upside-down cake. Not too many desserts, maybe except for a fruit tart, let the ingredients do the talking. Upside-down cakes don’t have icing or frosting, they aren’t delicately assembled, and they don’t have a dozen layers. Typically there is a cake layer baked on top of a fruit layer, and once prepared, it is flipped upside-down and devoured. Even the name is simple, it is what it is.
