Honey Apple Upside-Down Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For the Topping:
- 2 large apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
- 1/4 cup honey (for the batter)
Instructions
- Prepare the Topping:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 9-inch round cake pan, melt the 1/4 cup of butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the honey and cinnamon.
- Arrange the sliced apples in a circular pattern over the honey mixture, covering the bottom of the pan.
- Make the Cake Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and honey.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Combine and Bake:
- Pour the cake batter over the arranged apples in the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
