Upside Down Apple Cake

I made this cake for myself on Mother's Day.

 I love it that much that I would make it for myself on Mother's Day.

It's easy.

I always make two at a time.

One just is never enough in our house.

Chunks of apples and cinnamon.

You can't go wrong.

Dice up one large apple, or two medium.

Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and a few small dashes each of allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and or cloves.

I don't bother with a measuring spoon for those.

Your wet ingredients are 2 eggs, milk (or apple juice), oil, and applesauce.

I always use liquid sweeteners like agave nectar or raw honey so I add them with the wet.

Add the wet to the dry.

Add apples.

Mix till just combined.

Bad picture sorry.

I spray the bottom of 2 cake pans and THEN sprinkle them with a bit of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.

Slice up 2-3 apples in thin slices

Make it pretty. I will be the top of the cake.

You can use any fruit you like. I've been experimenting with blueberries, raspberries, and pears.

Bake on 375 for 20ish minutes till browned and done.

Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

Then, using oven mits, place a large plate over the baking pan and flip the pan onto the plate in one smooth move.

I think this is company worthy.

Or Mother's Day breakfast worthy.
