How awesome are upside down cakes? I love them because they are fun to make, and they are quite healthy since they contain fruit. You can make them with kids and use your favorite fruit of choice. I love this upside down plum cake because it is:

How To Make The Best Upside Down Plum Cake?

Check the easy step-by-step photos below: First, line the bottom of a cake pan or springform with parchment paper and preheat your oven. Wash, deseed and slice the plums. Arrange them on the bottom of the springform/cake pan. Drizzle with a tablespoon of sugar and maple syrup. Measure/weigh the dry ingredients and add them all to a big bowl. Stir with a whisk. Mash the banana (or use applesauce) and combine it with the wet ingredients. You can also use a blender or food processor. Whisk dry and wet ingredients together and pour the batter into the cake pan/springform. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes, then allow to cool and peel off the parchment paper. Enjoy warm or cold!

Simple Ingredients

This cake contains only simple ingredients that you most likely already have at home. The main ingredients are ground oats (oat flour) and ground nuts. You can use any nuts of choice, for example, ground almonds, hazelnuts, etc. Shredded unsweetened coconut can be used instead of ground nuts. Please don’t use coconut flour. It won’t work in this recipe! Please don’t substitute any regular flour (except almond flour) for the ground nuts. Since the recipe is oil-free, there needs to be a source of fat. To make the cake grain-free, you could experiment with buckwheat flour or sorghum flour (instead of oat flour). I haven’t tried it myself but it should work. If you give it a try, please report back in the comments. Any plant-based milk can be used in this recipe. I prefer to use canned coconut milk, however, almond milk, cashew milk, etc. should work fine as well. The higher the fat content of the milk, the better the cake will taste.

How To Serve?

You can serve the cake with dairy-free ice cream or whipped coconut cream. Another option would be to drizzle a vegan caramel sauce on top. Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

Versatile Upside Down Plum Cake

I love how versatile this upside-down cake is. You can use other fruits instead of plums. Some examples would be:

Pineapple, to make an upside down pineapple cake. Or what about: Apple Strawberry Peach Banana Pear Cherry Blueberry Orange Or lemon

Apricots are awesome as well, especially since they are in season now. I am actually looking forward to making an upside down mandarin cake in the wintertime.
