I don't really want to add new ingredients that's not in the recipe. If I bake a cake outside of baking club, I always choose one of her chocolate genoise since that's my favorite!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452207798550129491.post-81571591254323903392015-03-30T16:00:29.961-06:002015-03-30T16:00:29.961-06:00Beautiful photographs!

I bought a bag of fresh cranberries last Dec when they were in season and on sale and stash them in the freezer, knowing there are recipes with cranberries in the book. I still have 1/2 of the bag :).Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452207798550129491.post-31905484469634377072015-03-29T18:07:49.264-06:002015-03-29T18:07:49.264-06:00I took a pass this week, could not find the cranbe...I took a pass this week, could not find the cranberries and I looked all over the place - so I took a weekend off on the baking :).

It's not like a cake that's covered in ganache or buttercream and you can patch your mistakes. There is no telling how the fruits going to cook or the caramel going to melt. One time I made the apple upside down cake at a friend's house with no baking stone, the caramel didn't melt all the way through. That was a bit sad because it affects the taste of the cake.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717898669803221775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452207798550129491.post-77373633543325580772015-03-29T13:02:12.219-06:002015-03-29T13:02:12.219-06:00Hi Jeanette!

Rose has Apple Upside Down Cake in Rose's Heavenly Cakes that is very similar to this, with caramel. I have made that one several times. It was very good also.

It was simple to make and versatile, to use as a cake or as a dessert. Someone else on Rose's forum made it with rhubarb and it looked beautiful, I thought mine looked a bit rough in comparison but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying goes! I would make this again as it was so good, in my opinion. JeannetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
