Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a saucepan, melt 2/3 cup butter over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the butter-sugar mixture evenly into the prepared cake pan.
- Layer the apple slices neatly over the butter-sugar mixture in the cake pan, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups sour cream, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 eggs until smooth.
- Gradually stir in 1/2 cup self-raising flour and 1 tsp cinnamon until well combined.
- Fold in 1/3 cup chopped walnuts into the batter.
- Pour the batter over the apple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake.
- Place a serving plate over the cake pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate, so the apple layer is on top.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing.
- Optionally, you can serve this delicious upside-down apple & walnut cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier mixing and a smoother batter.
- Thinly slice the apples for even layering at the bottom of the cake pan.
- Use parchment paper to line the cake pan for easier removal of the cake once it's baked.
- Mix the dry ingredients separately before incorporating them into the wet mixture to avoid overmixing the batter.
- Toast the walnuts prior to adding them into the cake for enhanced flavor.
