Easy One-Bowl Upside-Down Cake
I love this Easy One-Bowl Upside-Down Cake because I can make it using ingredients that I have in my store cupboard or freezer so I don’t need to go to the grocery store if I am in a sudden mood for cake! I always have a few bags of frozen cherries or blueberries that I can use to make this delicious cake.
As well as tasting really delicious, this easy one-bowl upside-down cake is very easy to make too! Start by mixing frozen fruit with sugar, lemon juice and melted butter in a baking pan. Bake until the juices are bubbling. Mix dry and wet ingredients together to make a batter. Pour the batter over the fruit and bake in the oven. Remove the cake from the pan and leave to cool completely. Serve with sweetened sour cream. Yum!
To make Easy One-Bowl Upside-Down Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Steps to make Easy One-Bowl Upside-Down Cake
1 | Heat oven | 5 |
Preheat the oven to 425 ºF. Place a rack in the center of the oven. | ||
2 | Melt butter | 1 |
Place ½ a cup of butter in a small bowl and melt in a microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat. Leave to cool. | ||
3 | Grate lemon zest | 2 |
Grate lemon zest finely and squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from the same lemon. Set to one side. | ||
4 | Prepare a baking pan | 1 |
Brush one tablespoon of the melted butter around the bottom and sides of the baking pan. Line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper. | ||
5 | Place fruit in the baking pan | 2 |
Place the 2 bags of fruit in the bottom of the baking pan with 4 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter and toss well. | ||
6 | Bake | 40 |
Place the pan in the oven to bake. Gently shake the pan halfway through cooking. Cook for about 40-50 minutes, until the fruit juices are thick and bubbling. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 °F. | ||
7 | Mix dry ingredients | 2 |
Place 2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ a teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda and 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Mix well. | ||
8 | Add wet ingredients to dry | 2 |
Beat 3 eggs with 1 cup sour cream, 2 teaspoons of lemon zest and the remaining 5 tablespoons of melted butter. Pour these wet ingredients into a well in the center of the dry ingredients. | ||
9 | Mix to create a batter | 2 |
Whisk the wet mixture in ever-growing circles outward until the wet and dry ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. | ||
10 | Add batter to pan | 2 |
Place large spoonfuls of batter over the fruit in the baking pan and gently smooth the surface. | ||
11 | Bake | 45 |
Place the cake in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes until the top is a golden brown color and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean | ||
12 | Cool and remove from the baking pan | 10 |
Leave the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Use a paring knife to loosen the cake from the edges of the pan. Place a serving plate over the pan and invert. Lift the baking pan away from the cake and peel off the parchment paper. If some of the cherries remain stuck to the parchment, place them back in the cake. Let the cake cool completely before serving. | ||
13 | Make a sour cream accompaniment | 1 |
Mix the remaining cup of sour cream with 1–2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl. | ||
14 | Serve | |
Serve slices of this cake with a dollop of sour cream on top. | ||
Recipe Reviews
I tossed in some chocolate chips to this and decided to also use some vanilla frosting for the top instead of fruit.
My kids actually helped me make this everyone was very pleased with how it turned out to be :)
Wow, this was delicious and easy.
Was for sure easy just as the description says and tasted fantastic.
No bake cheesecakes are easier and much more flavorful.
Had this for breakfast it was really really good.
Couldn't be more satisfied!! Best dessert EVER!!
Cool!! Mine was yummy and good with a pumpkin latte.
That's way too much sour cream i'd recommend using some creamcheese instead or it will taste a bit off.
Simple, affordable and tasty. Exactly what I was looking for.
Not too shabby though the cherry upside down cake was way more flavorful than this one.
Didn't add lemon zest to mine and tossed in some almonds.
Vegetarian cake is the best kinda cake and good to make.
I substitued the eggs for apple sauce fantastic dessert.
Lemon made it kinda zesty but it was totally worth it for the sweetness of the cake itself.
First time making this wish me luck people!!
Shaped mine like a heart using the baking stencils, Delicious.
Replaced cane sugar for brown instead cause the sweet cherries make up most of the sweetness anyway and cane sugar would make it overwhelming.
Turned this into cupcakes instead of a cake and used some cherry filling for the inside love both recipes so thx.
Loved every bite of this upside-down cake it wasn't too sweet but perfect for some tea or coffee on the side.
Easy & delicious! Thanks for sharing!
