There are a few very special things going on with this cake.
The first and most obvious is the cherries. Here the fresh cherries are coated in brown sugar and balsamic vinegar which intensifies their flavour and sweetness. Baking also brings out the deep purple-red cherry colour that’s so incredibly gorgeous on the top (or is that the bottom?) of this cake.
The recipe uses cornmeal which adds a fabulous texture to the cake as well as a lovely golden hue. There is also a very subtle hint of coconut from the coconut milk.
And because it’s an upside-down cake recipe, it’s so very easy to bake.
Put all that together and you have one sensational cake indeed.
