Upside-down cake is a cake that is baked with its toppings (usually fruit) at the bottom of the pan, so that when it's inverted after baking, the toppings are on top. Pineapple is a common choice, but other fruits work well too. It's distinct from other cakes because of its presentation. Think of it as the inside-out cake that's full of surprises. 🍍 The fruit caramelizes during baking, creating a sweet and sticky topping. It's a simple yet visually appealing cake.
Upside-down cakes became popular in the early 20th century. The invention of cast-iron skillets made it easier to bake cakes with fruit on the bottom. Pineapple became a popular choice after the Dole company introduced canned pineapple to a wider market. The cake offered a simple way to use canned fruit and create a visually appealing dessert.
