About Upside Down Apple Cake
Apple upside-down cake is a cake that is baked in a single pan upside- down,; with the toppings at the bottom. When the finished upside- down preparation is removed from the oven, it is flipped over and de-panned onto a serving plate, righting it and serving it right-side up.
Before the batter is poured in, sliced apples is usually placed on the bottom of the pan and batter is topped and baked. This cake is made by pouring cake batter over apples which is layed over brown sugar and butter. Then pour the easy peasy blender batter and baked. After baking, it is flipped onto a platter so that the bottom becomes the top. Hence the name Apple upside down cake.

I have shared an upside down apple cake few years back and this version is an updated recipe for the original recipe. It is my latest favorite and better than the old version.
The recipe is very straight forward. The batter is literally made in a blender. All you have to do is blend the ingredients until creamy and pour over wheat flour and fold using spatula.
Even the base caramel sauce is a no cook version. All I did was layer butter and brown sugar in a square cake pan. Arranged thinly sliced apples over the sugar. Batter is then poured on top and baked. Thats it.
Ingredients
Apples – Use freshest of the apples, it not only adds taste but gives wonderful apple flavour.
No Cook Caramel – The base caramel sauce is a no cook version. All I did was layer butter and brown sugar in a square cake pan.
For Batter – eggs, sugar, raising agents, oil, milk, cinnamon, is added in a blender and combined till creamy.
Wheat flour – I used whole wheat flour for making the cake batter. But you can use plain flour as well.
Expert Tips
- Make sure to peel the apples and slice them thinly so the apples cook by the time the cake is baked.
- Whole wheat flour is used in the sponge, you can use plain flour too.
- You can reduce the sugar added in the cake batter to ½ cup as well.
- Instead of oil you can use melted butter.
- Cinnamon is optional, you can skip it.
