I have not baked too many cakes in my life having had a penchant for the easier to make muffins, but this apple cake seemed also very easy to make. It looked delicious, moist and crunchy. It reminded me of the first cake I ever baked. Upside down pineapple cake for a sweet 16 birthday celebration.
I was 18 and had never baked anything like a cake. Mom did all that. I took the challenge and hollered from my balcony to Zepure's some 200 feet away where she lived with her family on the top floor "ZEPUUUUUUUUURRRE!" She showed up and I hollered "DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE FOR AN UPSIDE DOWN PINEAPPLE CAKE?" She hollered back "NOOOO, BUT DALITA HAS." "WHERE DOES SHE LIVE?" "IN THE BUILDING NEXT TO THE DENTIST'S, THIRD FLOOR."
I went, found Dalita, brought the recipe home, baked the cake and took it to the party. It was a hit.
Now that we can find all kinds of recipes on the internet I meant to look for it all day today but each time I remembered something more urgent had to be done first. Then I forgot.
This evening, I went to the grocery store to get a few items and the first thing I saw upon entering through the doors was a row of upside down pineapple cakes.
Of course I got one. When the cashier told me that they had sold quite a few of them today, I told her this whole story without mentioning the hollering from one balcony to the other part. It was shorter.
Thank you for your attention.
