Toffee apple upside-down cake

With a flavour reminiscent of the French classic tart tatin, this cake is made with a ring of tart apples arranged on a layer of caramel, then covered with the batter.

After baking, the cake is turned out while still hot so that the caramelized apples are on the top with the moist cake underneath.

Use a spring form tin if possible and lay a sheet of cooking parchment in the bottom to stop the caramel sticking too much.

Note: if you use a non-stick mould, this still helps, but otherwise it is essential for turning out the cooked cake.

Stage 2

5 min.

Turn the cake out as soon as it comes out of the oven (before the caramel has time to cool and stick to the tin).

This cake can be eaten warm or cold, as you prefer.

Remarks

It is important to use fairly tart apples (Bramley, Cox's, reinette, boskoop...) to contrast with the sweetness of the caramel and cake mixture.
