Now don't think that everything is going super well in my kitchen. It turns out that I did not have a plate large enough to hold this cake. I tried one of the biggest plate that I have and since the sides of the plate was slightly slanted, the cake was a bit damaged on one side. Anyway, ended up using a sheet pan as the place holder of this cake. Voila - disaster averted. Note to self: please go find a cake stand or a large plate!
Now onto the tasting impressions. I like making apple pies/tarts, I have tried several recipes of pies and tarts (including Rose's Open Face Designer Apple Pie). However, I am not a big fan of the taste of apple dessert. I know, I know, how can I not like apple dessert, right? Well, that's how it is. Given the choice between Apple Pie or any other cake I would usually pick the cake. Anyway, just when I thought that all is lost in the apple dessert land - that I wound never find a kind that I like - comes Apple Upside-Down Cake. This cake is soooo good. It's tender and moist and taste awesome! In retrospect, maybe what I don't like is pie crust then? :) Anyway, I love making (and eating) this cake. I will definitely make it again - and maybe try the peach version.
Hi Jenn - So glad you were able to find an apple dessert that you really like! Sorry you don't have a serving plate large enough to hold this cake. Do you have a large cutting board (one that doesn't have onions and garlic impregnated into it)?

I thought i posted a comment but i think it disappeared. I was saying ..your cake looks so delicious!! And your apples so soft too! Mine is still quite crunchy..lol! Like undercook, but it's ok cos i like crunchy stuff..LOL!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia - I didn't think of cutting board. Though the one that I have are wood so they would be heavier for me to handle than the sheet pan. Thanks for the idea though!
ReplyDeletePatricia - btw, I used Honey Crisps because of your comment on Marie's blog. Didn't know that this apple is good for baking!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Jenn! Love the picture of the slice.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn - I use a Panasonic Lumix FX-28. It's a point and shoot, but it's a bit bigger than the pocket size ones.
ReplyDeleteJenn,
ReplyDeleteI love the Honey Crisps--they're just about the perfect all-around apple. I think your apples got a little browner than mind did, and they look beautiful.
Your cake turned out great. I love Honeycrisp apples, and apple desserts. I'm glad you liked this cake :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hanaa! I hope your renovation finished soon so you can start baking.
ReplyDeleteYour cake came out nice and high. I turned mine out onto a regular dinner plate which it barely fit. Guess it's time for us both to buy a real cake plate.
