Strawberry Upside Down Cake Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons butter (for the topping)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup fresh ripe sliced strawberries
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup butter for the cake batter(room temperature)
- 2/3 cup milk, room temperature
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Strawberry Upside Down Cake Recipe: The Initial Steps
You are going to need a 9-inch round baking pan to make the cake. First, you make the brown sugar and butter topping that goes down into the pan first. To do this, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan. You can do this by placing the 9-inch pan on your stove burner with the butter in the pan. Turn the burner to low and heat just long enough for the butter to melt.
Then, take the pan off the stove and add 1/2 cup of brown sugar to the pan with the butter and mix the two together. After that, spread the topping you made evenly over the bottom of the pan and place your sliced strawberries on top of the topping. Finally, set the pan aside, we’re going to make the cake batter.
Strawberry Upside Down Cake Recipe: Make The Cake Batter
First, place the flour, white sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Stir or whisk the ingredients together. Next, add the milk, butter, egg, and vanilla to the bowl. Beat the ingredients together with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth.
Next, get the cake batter into the pan without moving the fruit on the bottom of the pan. You can do this one of two ways. The first way is to slowly pour the batter over the fruit and spread it out evenly after you poured it. The second way is to use a large kitchen spoon and dollop the batter into the pan and smooth it out over the fruit.
Baking the Strawberry Upside Down Cake
Place the cake into a 350 degree preheated oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick inserted in the center to see if it comes out clean to make sure the cake is baked through. Remove the cake from the oven to a wire rack to cool for five or ten minutes. After you cool it for 5 or 10 minutes place a serving plate over the top of the pan. Flip the cake over onto the plate and remove the pan. Cool down the cake completely before you cut it and serve it.
Strawberry Upside Down Cake is moist, tender, and delicious. The fresh sliced strawberries laying on a bed of butter and brown sugar is delightful. Put everything from this strawberry upside down cake recipe together and you’ve got one amazing 9-inch cake. I love that’s it’s big enough for two people without having a ton of cake leftover but can still be served for dessert for at least four or five people to enjoy. Top this little gem with whipped cream if you like and watch the smiles appear. Strawberry Upside Down Cake, it’s what’s for dessert and it’s delicious, ENJOY!

This looks and sounds yummy and the perfect complement to Easter dinner. Could I use frozen strawberries? I have a bunch in my freezer from last season and looking for more recipes to use them up. Thanks.
Rachel are your strawberries frozen whole? I’ve never used anything but fresh. But maybe unthawed and drained well it would work.
Thank you very much.,had to make couple substitutions.,only had frozen strawberries ( I just sliced them) and used cake flour sooooo good thank you again
Thank you Teresa!
Looking through these comments, apparently this is old. But, has anyone tried the recipe with pineapple?
Here’s a recipe for Pineapple Upside Down Cake Charlotte, you’ll love it!https://wp.me/p4YNfD-1q9

Thank you Allison.
Such a beautiful cake! I absolutely love that brown sugar strawberry topping and how easily everything comes together. I definitely need to try this for brunch.
Yes, I have that recipe. Just wondered if you had tried this one with pineapple. I think this one is just the right size, and my iron skillet is kind of out of use. It needs a good cleaning.
The ingredients list calls for 1/2 cup of brown sugar, but the instructions say to use only 2 tablespoons. I’m wondering if you should use the 1/2 cup for the topping because 2 tablespoons just doesn’t seem like enough to give that fun crunchy topping.
Hi Bunny, excellent recipe thank you. I was wondering if you can freeze this cake?
Karen I’ve never frozen this cake after it was baked but I did find a little information about freezing baked cakes once they are cooled and out of the pan. out of the pan is important Karen. Once the cake has cooled, place it in the refrigerator overnight. Wrap the refrigerated cake in plastic wrap and place it in a resealable freezer bag or container. Be sure to unwrap the strawberry upside down cake before defrosting it in the refrigerator.
Thank you for the information the cake was delicious. Im going to try this recipe with bananas and thinking about trying Mangos.
one of the best deserts I have made in years. I used it as a base for a strawberry/rhubarb cake. Used 1 cup of each.
Can’t wait to make this recipe!! I do have one question. The recipe asks for 1/2 cup of brown sugar but I only see 2 tablespoons being used. What happens with the rest of the brown sugar?
