An upside-down cake is a cake usually made in a pan with a curved bottom. Once cooked, turned over and allowed to set, the cake is eaten upside-down. Usually, chopped fruits such as apples, pineapples and cherries are placed at the bottom of the pan before the batter is poured in, so that they form a decorative topping once the cake is inverted.
Turning the upside-down cake is a critical process, as if done improperly, part of the cake can remain attached to the pan, ruining the final product. In order to allow for a better detachment, the bottom of the pan is usually covered with butter or sugar.
