    A short story about Sweet Cherry Upside Down Cake

    Why should pineapples have all the fun being an upside-down cake? 

    This Sweet Cherry Upside Down Cake can be made with any sweet cherry such as Bing, Royal Anns, or Rainiers.

    To remove the pit use a cherry pitter or cut it out with a sharp knife.

    Be sure to pick the plumpest, firmest cherries you can find with a nice green stem. Try to avoid buying cherries that are pre-packaged as one moldy cherry can ruin the surrounding fruit.

    This cake is great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

    Ingredients
      

    • ¼ cup unsalted butter
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
    • 3 cups sweet cherries pitted
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup cornmeal
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 egg yolk
    • ⅔ cup whole milk
    • ½ cup olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup sugar

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oven to 350º F.
    • In a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat, add brown sugar and stir until sugar dissolves. Add the balsamic and cherries, bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, let cool.
    • Meanwhile in a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat the eggs, egg yolk, milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract until frothy. Add sugar and mix to combine. Slowly pour in dry ingredients, mix until smooth. Pour batter into cooled skillet over cherries and place in the middle of the oven to bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
    • Remove skillet from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the skillet and, working quickly, invert the plate and skillet. If the cake does not come out easily, give the skillet a quick tap on a solid surface to help dislodge the cake. Allow to cool to warm before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
