Apple Berry Upside Down Cake


Ok this cake is sooooo pretty! I am so proud of how this turned out! I've never tried to make an upside down cake before and I usually don't like pineapple so this was a great recipe to try! You will need:


3/4 cup butter, softened and divided

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup honey

2 large Gala apples, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices

1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract


1. Preheat oven to 350. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a lightly greased 9 inch round cake pan(with sides that are at least 2 inches high) over low heat. Remove from heat. Sprinkle with brown sugar; drizzle honey over brown sugar. Arrange apples in concentric circles over brown sugar mixture, overlapping as needed; sprinkle with blackberries.


2. Beat granulated sugar and remaining 1/2 cup butter at medium speed with an electric mixer. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition.


3. Stir together flour and baking powder. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Spoon batter over blackberries in pan.


4. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of cake to loosen. Invert cake onto serving place.
