Strawberry Upside Down Cake
e-How


Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons butter (for the topping)
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup of Sliced Strawberries
1 1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2/3 Cup Sugar
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
2/3 Cup Milk
1/4 cup Soft Butter (for the cake)
1 Egg
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
9 inch round cake dish


Directions:

Topping –

In a 9 inch round cake dish, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter, mix in the brown sugar, add the strawberries, and then set it to the side.

Cake Mix –

In a mixing bowl stir the flour, sugar, and baking powder together. Then add the milk, butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix with a mixer until smooth. Then gently pour over the fruit in the cake pan. You may want to use a larger spoon. The key is for the fruit to stay on the bottom, and not to mix with the batter.

Baking/Serving –

Pre-Heat the oven to 350. Bake in the oven at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. Check the middle of the cake with a toothpick or knife to see if it’s done. When done remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Then flip it over on to a serving plate, and remove the pan.

  36. Yummy. I love those cakes. I really want one now. I have to go seek out some good strawberries.

    Hang in there with the weather. Better days are coming. I find spring to be a torturous season because you never know if the nice weather is here to stay, but the sun is shining today, and even though it's rather windy, it's not too cold.

  37. I love all of them but the strawberry cake sounds amazing.
