Gluten Free Upside Down Cake

Ingredients
  

  • Heaping cup of gluten free flour blend 1 1/4? (I used gluten free Cup 4 Cup flour)
  • Scant cup of sugar 3/4 cup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

In a one cup measuring cup, mix together

  • 1 egg
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • then fill the rest with milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla

For the fruit "topping"

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 2-3 cups of fruit I used 10 oz of fresh cherries, quartered

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. 
  • In a one cup measuring cup, add a cracked egg and beat. To that, add 4 tbsp oil of choice, and mix. Finally, fill the rest of that one cup measuring cup with milk. Add to dry ingredients and mix well. 
  • Add vanilla to batter and blend. Set aside. 
  • In a 9 inch round baking pan, melt butter. I did so placing it in the oven while it heated. To that, I added the sugar, stirred it carefully, and returned it to the oven to stay warm. 
  • Prepare your fruit by chopping it into smaller pieces. You should have approximately 2 to 3 cups. I simply used enough to cover the bottom of the pan. 
  • Remove warm pan of butter and sugar from the oven, and add fruit on top. 
  • Next, pour batter over fruit, and bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • After removing from the oven, place a plate or platter over the top of the pan, and flip it over onto the plate. Do so shortly after removing it from the oven, or the sugar will harden, making it difficult to remove from the pan.
