Description
It's been a long time since i have had the motivation to write up a proper tutorial rather than just stick the recipe in the description of my photos but this was the motivation i needed as the possibilities for the choice of fruits and how to serve it is brilliant all year round for snacks and desserts. Monday i made a banana version for a snack, today a peach version to be served warm with custard for a warming autumnal dessert.There is one thing i forgot to add to the recipe, if making a gluten free version (which is what i always do) add a tsp of Xantham gum to the flour for better texture and moisture.
If you make it, I would love to see it so, here is another tutorial for basic food photography.

Oh Tarte Tatin? Or well.. kind of.
Interesting way to do it lol. Last time I made something like that (it's been a while lol) I didn't actually add a cake layer on it. I don't remember exactly what it was, but my version of this (the french version.. I'm not sure if that's what you're making) is really thin and looks glazed, like a layer of caramel was put on it (although you did put caramel on it...)
But cool anyway :3 It must taste good X3

yes a tarte tatin is really thin because it's a pastry base not a cake and often has a glazed top so that's probably what you made. This is very much like that just a cake instead

just one question, step 1 and step 3 both say to use the butter. Do you split the amount you have in the ingredieants in half, or do you use the 3-5Tbs in each step, so you usr a total of 6-10Tbs? i so am going to make this, looks delish

Xanth? What? You will be epicly cool if you know what xanth is! Also, I had never even heard of any type of upside down cake besides pineapple before, I'm going to have to branch out with different fruit soon! Although a week ago I did buy pineapple with which to make upside down pineapple cupcakes. So I still need to use that up first

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
then I'll try so this friday, I think it's quick enough for me to do in between getting home from college and my BF arriving ^.^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes, just as quick if not quicker than a normal cake, after all you don;t have to wait for it to cool to decorate it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not that I normally wait... the smell of a freshly baked cake... (druels)
I merely hold myself back from eating it right away when it's a special occasion-cake
