Who doesn’t love a good retro pineapple upside-down cake?
You probably remember your mum or your grandma baking it at the weekend, filling the house with a sweet and fruity scent. But all good things should be re-invented with a twist!
This SunGold™ Kiwifruit upside-down cake by Zespri™ is a take on the classic but uses sweet golden kiwi instead – it’ll be your new favourite.
Kiwi upside-down cake
Equipment
- Saucepan
- 25cm cake tin
- Sieve
Ingredients
For the topping
- 4 Zespri SunGold kiwis peeled and sliced
- 70 g dark brown sugar
- 70 g butter
For the cake
- 120 g dark brown sugar
- 120 g butter softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
Method
- Heat the oven to 180c / 160c fan / gas 4.
- For the topping put the dark brown sugar and butter in a small saucepan and melt over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. This should take a couple of minutes.
- Once melted, spoon the sugar and butter mixture into the cake tin ensuring there’s an equal layer on the bottom of the tin.
- Take the sliced kiwi and arrange around the tin, sitting on top of the sugar and butter layer.
- Next, create the cake mixture by creaming the dark brown sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue mixing.
- Sift the flour and baking power into the bowl, add the yoghurt and mix until smooth.
- Carefully spoon the mixture over the kiwi slices and spread level.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then carefully turn out onto a serving plate.
