I love this tasty Cherry Upside-Down Cake because it gives me a reason to buy cherries from my local farmer’s market! If I plan to make this upside-down cherry cake, I always buy extra cherries so that I have some to snack on while I cook! I advise you to do this too!
As well as tasting really delicious, this cherry upside-down cake recipe is very easy to make! Start by softening the cherries in a saucepan with caramelized sugar and red wine. Make a batter by combining flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, eggs, salt and milk. Place the cherries in the bottom of a baking pan and top with the cake batter. Bake in the oven until golden brown on top. Leave to cool slightly before turning the cake out onto your favorite serving plate.
To make Cherry Upside-Down Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 ºF. Grease a springform pan with butter.
Rinse 300 grams of cherries. Drain them and remove the pits. Caramelize 50 grams of sugar in a small saucepan. Add the rinsed cherries to the caramel and deglaze the saucepan with 100 milliliters of red wine. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Place 400 grams of pastry flour, 200 grams of softened butter, 150 grams of sugar, 1 packet of baking powder, 5 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt and 200 milliliters of milk in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric handheld mixer until you have a smooth batter.
Place the softened cherries at the bottom of the baking pan and spread out evenly. Pour the batter over the cherries and smooth using the back of a spoon or a frosting spatula.
Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Leave the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning out onto a cake plate.
Serve slices of this cake with coffee or tea on the side.

Superb! My kids helped out with this cherry cake, and we had so much fun together! The cherries from the market were perfect. We felt like real bakers!
Delizioso!
Splendid. I made this with my kids on a rainy day and they loved arranging the cherries. It’s such a fun activity!
OMG, this Cherry Upside-Down Cake is da bomb! Made it for a family get-together and it was a hit! Buying extra cherries to snack on while baking is a smart move. It’s super easy and tastes just like summer! Can’t wait to make it again!
Superb!
Estoy tan feliz con esta tarta de cereza al revés. La hice para un picnic con amigos, y todos quedaron impresionados. La combinación de cerezas dulces y el bizcocho suave es simplemente perfecta. ¡Siempre compro cerezas extra para picar mientras cocino! Definitivamente lo haré de nuevo, muy fácil y divertido de preparar.
I personally think the cake it way too sweet even for a cake, best way to change that for next time is to replace cane white sugar with brown and add a bit of lemon zest.
Can this be made with blueberries instead of cherries?
Heavenly cake me and my daughter gobbled it all up over coffee :)
Hubby loved this he even helped me make it which normally he avoids the kitchen like the plague so that was a plus haha.
Replaced 3 eggs for applesauce was perfection.
Yummy!! Baked it for my nieces birthday she really liked it.
I used the cherry filling recipe for this upside-down cake was great.
Smells so good, waiting for it to bake but super excited to try it out.
