Upside down apple and walnut cake




  I noticed that Europe is andergoing  a very strong cold wave, while here we melt on heat.


  I have not cooked so much, but walked  with friends a lot. The other day was not very warm  and encourage myself to use the oven and bake this upsidedown cake.





I woke up early and taking advantage of the cool of the morning and using my grandmother's recipe, but with some minor modifications I started to bake. It is softer than usual in these cakes and extra flavor. If you like this cake can also be made with peaches, pears, pineapple  or plums.




Hope you like it and have a beautiful week

  • 1 1/2 cup  all purposeflour
