Apple Upside-down cake | Kukskitchen



This is a photograph I took before my blogging days. I absolutely love fruit in cakes. Gives a sense of guilt free pleasure although the cake is still very caloric.


A few things before we start:

  • You can sprinkle 1/4 cups of nuts along with the apples for an extra crunch and taste.
  • Remember this is an upside down cake. Layer the apple slices carefully as this would be your presentation side.
  • Best served warm.
