Upside Down Apple Raisin and Cinnamon Cake

One of my favorite pies is apple pie. Proper Dutch apple pie with raisins and cinnamon. I haven't, however, been able to recreate the real thing gluten free. It is just not the same. Somehow gluten free dough doesn't have that same texture that I love so much. But I've found something else. This upside down cake is tasty, soft, fragrant and delicious. It is easy to make and makes a perfect treat for a lazy Sunday, a birthday or for an ordinary day that you just want to treat yourself. Or bake something, just like me. 

Simple & Delicous! 

Here's the recipe to the upside down cake:

Ingredients:

For the topping: 

• 75 grams (2.75 oz) of butter
• 50 grams (1.75 oz) of brown sugar
• a bit of cinnamon sugar
• 25 grams (1 oz) of raisins (soaked in water or if you won't serve it to kids, some liquor)
• 2 apples, peeled and sliced into thin slices

For the cake:

• 125 (4.5 oz) grams of sugar
• 100 grams (3.5 oz) of soft butter
• 1 egg
• 150 (5.5 oz) grams of rice flour
• 50 grams (1.75 oz) of almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoon of cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum
• 0.25 teaspoon of salt
• 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
• 100 ml (3.5 fl oz) of milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Centigrade or 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Grab a round silicone cake pan and butter it. 
3. Put a pan on the stove, put in the butter and brown sugar and melt the butter. take the pan from the heat when the sugar is dissolved. Pour it in the silicon pan. 
4. Scatter the raisins onto the butter & sugar mixture and then put the slices of apple on top. Sprinkle with some cinnamon sugar for extra taste. 
5. Now make the batter:
6. Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a bowl untill it's light and airy. Beat in the egg. Add the rice flour, almond flour, cream of tartar, xanthan gum, salt & cinnamon & mix well. Beat in the milk & pour the batter over the slices of apple. Smooth the top and put it in the oven for about 25-35 minutes. 
7. When the top feels firm, bounces back when you softly touch it and looks all golden & pretty, take it out of the oven and let it cool a bit. Then turn it over using a plate on top. 

Enjoy!
