Upside down apple cake

With the nip in air all you crave is a warm mildly sweet cake or a deep fried goodness -Agree?I better go with the baked one, first reason being the man of the house not really a fan of deep fried goodies and the second reason is the aroma wafting round the house that literally soothes your senses.Though winter has arrived much later it has started with a bang .Apart from the freezing cold the best part of winters is the winter produce and warm bakes.A big slice of this upside down apple cake with some freshly brewed coffee and the family gathered at the tea table ,is sheer happiness.What else could any one ask for? With apples in season this would be a perfect treat.Though apples are available here all the year round the winter apples have that perfect crunch and sweetness.This cake is perfect to gobble when warm with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Smoothies are always welcome .Fortunately my kids are crazy for yogurt,so smoothies are a better option to to make them enjoy their milk in disguise .Smoothies come as a saviour especially for the morning rush hours where you shall spot me running a marathon to and fro towards the kitchen and the kids bed room .Though I make every arrangement at night before winding up to sleep, to avoid the hustle and bustle mornings .
