Microwave Apple Upside down Cake


Ever since Srivalli of Cooking4allseasons has announced the MEC: Cakes theme, I have been digging through all my recipe collection. Finally I found this cake that is done easily in microwave. I clearly don’t know why I forgot about it till now! Thanks to Srivalli, I could bring this recipe to the front and make it. I was surprised how easily this was done in a microwave. I made little changes to the original recipe, though! Actually it was pineapple upside down cake, but as I don’t have pineapples on hand, I replaced them with apples. And for pineapple juice as suggested in the original recipe, I used apple juice. That’s it!

Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsp Apple Juice
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 Apple (any kind)
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Baking Soda

Preparation:

Peel the apple and core out the seeds. Then slice into thin rounds like in the picture below. Keep aside.


Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 1 minute or until the butter melts.

In a different bowl mix apple juice with sugar and beat well with a spoon. To this, add all the other ingredients except the apple slices and beat well either with a manual or electrical mixer until the mixture turns smooth. Keep aside.


Coat a microwave safe bowl (I used a 2-quart glass bowl) with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern at the bottom of the bowl. Pour the prepared batter on top of these slices.

Place the bowl in the microwave on an inverted saucer. Microwave for 6 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back when touched lightly.


Let stand for 3 to 5 minutes until the cake cools down. Then invert onto a serving plate. Cut into pieces and serve. It tasted delicious.


This goes to Srivalli’s MEC: Cakes event.

Uma, there is no flour in ingredient list. Did u forgot or no flour?

Uma said... [Reply]

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, Cham. Yes, I forgot to write it. How can we make a cake without any flour? Now I corrected it.

Madhavi, Cham, Srivalli: Thank you so much for your sweet comments.

Hi Uma, I never saw a Apple upside down cake, always heard about a pineapple upside down, yours is inspired me to make these as we always buy lots of apples, can I use red apples too?

Roopa: Yes, you may use any kind of apples. It tastes great with any kind.

Hello,
I'm new to your blog. This cake sounds really good and easy to make. There was one part that was not clear to me..i'd appreciate if you could clarify that. Why did you say "Place the bowl in the microwave on an inverted saucer". Is there a reason we need to put it on an inverted saucer. Please clarify...Thanks :)

Uma said... [Reply]

Hi Anonymous,

Glad you raised this doubt! An inverted saucer is used to elevate the bowl being used to make a cake so that the cake is cooked evenly!

Thanks you liked my cake!
