Upside down cakes are single layer cakes that are made by caramelizing a layer of fruit in butter and sugar on the bottom of the pan. After the cake is baked, it’s inverted to reveal a decorative top. Pineapple is the classic upside down cake ingredient but other fruits and berries can make equally delicious cakes.
