Apple Upside Down Cake

Prep time: 25-30 minutes

Cook time: 20-22 minutes

Materials:

  • 1 1/3 cups flour sifted
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder sifted
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 apples of your choice (I used Macintosh) sliced thinly
  • 5 eggs at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 tbsp. vegetable/ or any neutral oil
  • 1/3 cup hot water
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Process:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line and grease a 9×13 cake pan with some butter or cooking spray.
  2. Layer the apple slices evenly at the bottom of the prepared pan. Coat with cinnamon and set aside.
  3. In a medium sized bowl sift the flour and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt, mix roughly and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl add in the room temperature eggs and granulated sugar. Using a hand held electric mixer, mix until pale in color and fluffy. Be patient this can take up to 10 minutes.
  5. Add in the flour mixture and mix just until the flour is incorporated.
  6. Add in the vegetable oil and hot water. Mix just to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture over the cinnamon apples.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cake cool completely and then flip over onto a cutting board (watch video for visual).
  10. Remove the parchment paper from the apples, dust with powder sugar and ENJOY!
