My thoughts:
I dearest upside downward cakes because spell I dearest cake (and icing!) I loathe how making a traditional frosted cake tin terminate endure thence fourth dimension consuming. I don't hear for a particular occasion merely for every day, I don't ever desire to become through the hassle of making the cake layers, waiting for them to cool completely, thence making icing as well as frosting them. Oy. But upside downward cakes are perfect! They are entirely i unmarried (small) layer as well as don't ask frosting because they are covered inward delicious caramel as well as fruit. Perfect for when y'all convey a hankering for cake merely non the time. Which isn't to tell upside downward cakes aren't perfect for a festive occasion equally well; they are impressive looking as well as a existent crowd pleasure. This i married the flavors of persimmon, cognac as well as allspice which makes for a cake that actually tastes similar the best of winter. How adept would it endure alongside some mulled cider?
