REV (Review) - Cooking Light Upside Down Cake for PA Baker

[mudbug]

Can't imagine what this cake would have tasted like without my addition of more juice to the batter - even then it turned out pretty dry.

Definitely not in the knock-your-socks-off range. Acceptable is about the best I can say. The recipe also calls for baking powder, which I could detect in the taste of the crumb. I prefer my baking powder to perform its duties without notice.

That's pretty much how I felt about the cranberry ginger upside down cake I made with a Cooking Light recipe! The whole time I ate it I kept thinking "This was too much work to be disappointed in it! " But I was . I have another low-fat upside down cake recipe if you want it. It uses apples for the fruit but I'm sure you could substitute any other kind you'd like.

I'm game. Lay it on me.

I'll make myself a note and dig it out for you tonight. It's in one of my many "organized" recipe binders at home!

lol, thanks. No big rush. We have to finish this mediocrity first!

No one else in my family wanted seconds of the cranberry disaster either! I picked at that darn thing for days!
