UPSIDE DOWN CAKE (WITH
VARIATIONS)

3 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
3 apples, cored, peeled and sliced

CAKE:

1/3 cup butter or vegetable shortening
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk

In an 8-inch square baking pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle the melted butter with brown sugar.

Top the brown sugar with apples (or other fruit, see below).

PREPARE CAKE:

Beat 1/3 cup room temperature butter or vegetable shortening with 3/4 cup sugar. Add egg, beat until light.

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Stir 1/3 flour mixture into egg mixture and beat for 10 seconds. Add vanilla to milk and stir half of the milk mixture into the flour/egg mixture, continue adding flour, then milk alternately until all ingredients for cake batter are mixed. Pour batter over the sugar and fruit in the pan.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35-45 minutes.

Invert cake at once onto a serving dish. Serve warm with fruit sauce, vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

VARIATIONS:

The following substitutions may be made for the apples:

• Peach: Arrange 1 (20 oz.) can drained peach sliced over the sugar mixture.
• Pineapple: Arrange rings over the sugar mixture. Fill centers with cherries or nuts, if desired.
• Rhubarb: Increase sugar to 3/4 cup. Cover sugar mixture with 2 cups diced rhubarb.

Servings: 9 slices.
