Description
A moist and flavorful upside down cake featuring fresh strawberries and honey.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries – 2 cups, hulled and halved
- Unsalted butter – 1/4 cup (60 grams), melted
- Honey – 1/2 cup (120 ml)
- Brown sugar – 1/4 cup (50 grams)
- All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups (190 grams)
- Granulated sugar – 1/2 cup (100 grams)
- Baking powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons
- Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
- Milk – 1/2 cup (120 ml)
- Eggs – 2 large
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and brown sugar until well combined. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Arrange the halved strawberries in a single layer on top of the honey mixture, cut side up.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the arranged strawberries in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the cake pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate, allowing the strawberries to be on top.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon into the batter.
- Make sure to use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
