Upside-down cake

An upside-down cake is a cake that is baked in a single pan with its toppings at the bottom of the pan, hence "upside-down". Then, when removed from the oven, the upside-down preparation is de-panned onto a serving plate, thus righting it, and serving it right-side up.

Upside-down cake

Usually chopped or sliced fruits — such as apples, cherries, peaches, or pineapples[1][2] — butter, and sugar are placed on the bottom of the pan before the batter is poured in, so that they form a baked-on topping after the cake is inverted. A simple cottage pudding cake batter may be used.[3]

Traditional upside-down preparations include the American pineapple upside-down cake, the French Tarte Tatin, and the Brazilian or Portuguese bolo de ananás (also known as bolo de abacaxi).
