Easy Caramel Apple Upside-Down Cake: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium-sized apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- Prepare the Caramel Mixture: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and bubbling.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the apple slices evenly over the caramel, overlapping them slightly if necessary.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Carefully pour the batter over the arranged apples in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to invert later.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan. Place a serving plate on top of the cake pan and quickly flip it over to release the cake. Gently tap the pan to ensure the cake comes out.
