Cherry Upside-Down Cake

D. Rattray
Cherry upside down cake is made with cherry pie filling and a from scratch cake batter.

Cook Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 ounces) cherry pie filling
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°.

Generously butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Spread the cherry pie filling over the bottom. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and flavorings. Beat in the sifted dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Beat until well blended.

Spoon over the cherry pie filling; spread to cover.

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly touched with finger.
Let cool for about 10 minutes. Loosen sides and carefully invert on a serving plate or cake server.

What a great surprise!March 26, 2008By JaymieR
"While I don't normally like cherry desserts, I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I made it because it seemed fairly simple and I had all of the ingredients on hand. This cake was a huge hit! My husband doesn't like cake but he loved this one. He ate about half of the cake by himself. This was so easy to make. Not too sweet, but just sweet enough. The cake itself stayed really moist as well. This is definitely a keeper."
