A Flavorful Upside-Down Cake Recipe for Any Occassion
Sweet Fruit Dessert for the Whole Family
The upside-down cake recipe isn’t just for pineapple anymore. My favorite aspect of the upside down cake is how the flavor and the syrup collects at the bottom and get flipped to the top. It may all be in my mind, but it feels like it’s sweeter, more rich in the syrup.

All in all this recipe takes about an hour and a half to put together and is just delicious. It’s fairly easy to make, once the pears are caramelized.
