Upside Down Cakes
Signature

Host: "What we're looking for is your own personal spin on an absolute classic, the upside down cake. This is a simple sponge just topped with a fruit of your choice."


'You've got two hours to bake and present your cake.'


Mary Berry: "A classic British upside down cake traditionally features a sponge baked on top of a layer of fruit. It's flipped once it comes out of the oven so the fruit bottom becomes the top.


Mary Berry: "The bakers could do all sorts of things with different fruits, different flavors and the fruit must be one that must hold its shape, it mustn't all fall apart and become mushy."


Paul Hollywood: "The bake is crucial. You're adding liquid to a batter and baking it so the top roasts and cooks properly and the sponge bakes properly, creating an upside down cake that's moist and light and full of flavor."
