When you need to impress, opt for a gorgeous upside down cake. Instead of mixing those lovely fruity flavours into the batter, these stunners show them off on top. Banana, pineapple, apple and apricot are just some of the fruits on offer in these recipes. There are also some brilliant nutty options as well, including a macadamia chocolate cake. Not only do these recipes look fantastic, but the syrupy, fruit flavour makes them feel a little bit fancy.
With everything from a tart yet sweet rhubarb cake to a wonderful upside-down pineapple cake, you’re sure to find a recipe you adore.
The Weekly’s tarte tatin collection
Similar to these recipes, tarte tatin is an upside down dessert, however it’s made with pastry. In general, to make this French dessert the fruit is first caremelised in a pan, and then a pastry layer is popped over the fruit before it’s transferred to the oven to bake. The pasty goes golden and crispy. To serve, the tarte tatin is flipped so the fruit becomes the top. Just like with theses cakes!
The classic tarte tatin is made with apple, but other delicious variations include pear tarte tatin, and banana tarte tatin. For a true show-stopper, this cherry tarte tatin is topped with a luscious soft meringue (like a lemon meringue tart).
