Upside-Down Blackberry Cake

 

It is blackberry season in the UK. There are a lot of blackberries over there. My classmates and I walked by some last Saturday that they were surprised about it. They said they were curious about it and not sure these are blackberry. One girl picked up some. I think she likes it. Why is my new blackberry cake? Upside-Down Blackberry Cake. I never bake this one, but the principle of upside-down cake is same. Let me show you how to do it.

Oven Temperature Setting: 160 ℃/ 320℉. Baking Time: around 30 minutes

Recipe: For a 8” baking tin

 

Steps of Blackberry Topping

(1) Weight all ingredients

(2) Switch on small heat. Add butter into the pan and melt it. Add 45g sugar into the melted butter. Whisk it well. It is no need to melt sugar.
(3) Add Blackberry in the pan. Switch to medium heat. Mix blackberry and butter-sugar.
(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: Use a fork to squeeze few blackberries. It is easier to cook.)

(4) After boiling around 3~5 minutes, add the rest of sugar in the pan. Keep boil around 10 minutes.

(5) Pour the blackberry in the baking tin with baking paper. Set Aside.

 

Steps of Cake

(1) Weight all ingredients

(2) Add milk and egg in a bowl. Whisk them.
(3) Add butter into the batter. Mix it well

(4) Add flour, sugar, baking powder into the batter. Make sure they are mixed well.

(5) Pour the cake batter over the top of blackberry.
(6) Send it to a pre-heated 160 ℃/ 320℉ oven.

 

When it is well-cooked, I’ll leave it into the oven with an open door around 10 minutes. (Of course, the oven is switched off!) It can prevent the sink because the temperature difference. Then, wait around another 20~30 minutes to wait the caramel blackberry be set. Then, put a plate over the cake. Flip the cake over, CAREFULLY.

Compared to my previous Blackberry Cake, this upside-down blackberry cake has a different taste. When you eat upside-down blackberry cake, the taste of blackberry is stronger than Blackberry Cake. Because the upside-down blackberry cake layers the topping and the cake separately. Blackberry Cake is mixed blackberry filling with cake so that you feel blackberry flavor instead of eating blackberries. So, enjoy it. And see which one you like more.
