Apple Upside Down Cake

Jump to recipe

This Apple Upside Down Cake recipe is one the oldest recipes in my collection and definitely one of my favorites. One of the ingredients for this cake is cornmeal, which is a little unusual, but it works so well in here! The cornmeal gives the cake a beautiful golden color and an unexpected crunch that contrast with the softness and fluffiness of the cake. Pair with reach caramel and thinly sliced apples, this cake is simply delightful. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Helpful Tips

Because of the coarse texture of the cornmeal the batter might look a little lumpy, that is ok. They cake will come out super soft with a slightly crunchy from the cornmeal. This cake is different to any other cake I’ve had, and it is definitely one of my favorites.

I have also made different variations of this cake depending on the season. Apples, Pears and Peaches are all equally delicious. I like the lightness of fresh whipped cream for a fall cake (apples or cake) but for summer (peaches), I love to top it with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Simply perfect!
