For this recipe you can use any fruit that is hard or firm. You could make an upside down cake with:

  • pineapple
  • apples
  • pears - as pictured
  • peaches









An Easy Cake Recipe - Upside Down Pear Cake


This recipe serves 8 persons, and is made in a round 23 cm/9 inch cake tin or 2 loaf tins.

The proportions in this recipe will make two loaf cakes.  I make a spare to either give away as a gift or to freeze.


Just Add

• 4 tbs maple syrup

• 3 pears, sliced thickly

• 1/2 block/ 4oz/ 125gm butter

• 1 cup brown sugar

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 2 cups self raising flour

• 1/2 cup milk

Put It Together:

• Preheat oven at 360F/180C

• Drizzle maple syrup all over the base of the baking tin

• Arrange fruit, in this instance, pears, on the syrup. Be generous and have two full layers of fruit

• In a saucepan on moderate heat, melt butter. Add sugar and combine well. Take it off the heat as soon as the butter melts

• Add beaten egg. Combine

• Fold in flour

• Fold in milk

• Pour batter over the fruit

• Bake for 30 minutes till just golden. The cake is cooked when the cake tester comes out clean

• Allow to cool

• Place a serving plate over the baking tin and flip it over so that the cake ends up upside down on the plate.




Easy Recipes Tips

  • To make this already easy recipe,  no fuss, use non-stick or silicone bakeware there's no need to grease and line the molds. 

  • This recipe is ideal using hard fruit that will not "mush up" while being cooked in the oven, such as under ripe stone fruit, pears and apples

  • Now, the trick with silicone bake molds is to gently pull the sides away from the baked cake to prevent it sticking as it cools, or just use the back of a blunt knife and run around the edges

  • Turn it over as soon as you can, again to prevent the base sticking

  • If you do have problems with the cake sticking to the bottom of the cake, dot the base with little pieces of butter before starting the first step
