"Upside-down cakes are fun, nostalgic desserts that can be switched up with lots of different fruits. What makes them upside-down? The caramel and fruit are layered into the bottom of the pan, batter is poured over the top, and then the cake is flipped and served with the fruit right-side up (or upside-down). These mini versions are just a smaller version of the classic pineapple and maraschino cherry cakes, with a sprinkle of pistachios for added color, flavor, and texture."
