Cherry Upside-Down Cake Recipe
This cherry cake is sooooo soft; like a cross between angel food cake and pound cake. The sweet tart cherries that get caramelized by the brown sugar as they bake are the crowning glory of this cake. Serve this with lightly sweetened whipped cream or a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream. The beauty of this cake is you can use almost any kind of fruit on top!
