prevrnuti kolač od pomorandže sa karamelizovanim bademima - Orange Almond Caramel Upside Down Cake

Evo još jednog divnog kolača iz Cake Keeper Cakes kuvara - opet sasvim jednostavnog, a posebnog. Ovog, 57. puta kako pravim kolač iz ovog kuvara, red je došao na mek kolač koji se topi u ustima, sa blagim ukusom pomorandže, prekriven karamelizovano medenim tostiranim bademima. Pravi jesenji soul food uz nove spotove koje su snimili The War on Drugs i Morrisey - eno ih na dnu posta...

And I recommend to all of my friends that they

Because the news contrives to frighten you

To make you feel small and alone

To make you feel that your mind isn't your own...

Potrebni sastojci:

Za toping:

1 šolja seckanih badema
6 kašika (85 g) neslanog putera
2⁄3 šolje smeđeg šećera
1⁄4 šolje meda


Za testo:

1 1⁄2 šolja brašna
1 kašikica praška za pecivo
1⁄2 kašikice sode bikarbone
1⁄4 kašikice soli
1⁄2 šolje kisele pavlake
2 veća jajeta
1⁄4 šolje soka od pomorandže
1 kašikica ekstrakta vanile
1⁄2 šolja (115 g) omekšalog putera
3⁄4 šolje šećera
1 kašika rendane korice pomorandže

Prvo se napravi toping:


Rernu podgrejati na 170ºC. Namastiti i pobrašnjaviti kalup za kolač (u originalnom receptu se preporučuje kalup prečnika 23 cm). Dno kalupa obložiti papirom za pečenje, pa i njega namastiti i pobrašnjaviti.

Posuti seckane bademe po tepsiji i tostirati ih dok ne dobiju boju, nešto manje od desetak minuta.

Grejati puter na srednjoj vatri dok ne počne da peni. Umešati smeđi šećer, smanjiti vatru i kuvati, mešajući sve vreme, oko 2 minute. Ovim sad preliti u modlu za kolač i poravnati malo špatulom. Poprskati medom, pa pobacati tostirane bademe preko meda. Ostaviti sa strane.

Sad napraviti biskvit:

Brašno, prašak za pecivo, sodu bikarbonu i so. Pomešati kiselu pavlaku, jaja, sok od pomorandže i vanilu i lagano ulupati.

Ulupati dobro puter i šećer dok ne bude penasto, oko tri minuta. Umešati rendanu koru pomorandže.

Smanjiti mikser na manju brzinu, pa polako ulivati mešavinu sa jajima, zaustavljajući mikser da bi se sadržaj skinuo sa zidova suda.

Uliti ovu masu u kalup preko badema, malo poravnati istaviti da se peče nešto jače od pola sata. Proveriti čačkalicom.

Po vađenju iz rerne, ostaviti kolač malo u kalupu, pa ga prevrnuti i pustiti da se prohladi. Ovaj se kolač može jesti i odmah, čim se malo prohladi. 

For the topping:

1 cup sliced almonds
6 tablespoons (3⁄4 stick) unsalted butter
2⁄3 cup packed light brown sugar
1⁄4 cup honey


For the cake:

1 1⁄2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1⁄4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Make the topping

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-inch round nonstick cake pan and dust with flour. Line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper and grease and flour the parchment.

2. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Heat
the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foaming. Whisk in the brown sugar, turn the heat to low, and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Drizzle with the honey. Scatter the toasted almonds over the honey. Set aside.


Make the cake

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Combine the sour cream, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla in a glass measuring cup and lightly beat.

2. Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary. Stir in the orange zest.

3. With the mixer on medium-low speed, pour the egg mixture into the bowl in a slow stream, stopping the mixer once or twice to scrape down the sides.

4. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the flour mixture, 1⁄2 cup at a time, scraping
down the sides of the bowl after each addition. After the last addition, mix for
30 seconds on medium speed.

5. Pour the batter over the almonds, gently spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.

6. Bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let stand for 5 minutes.

7. Holding the pan and a plate together firmly with oven mitts, immediately invert
the hot cake onto the plate. Peel away the parchment paper. If necessary, replace any almonds stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes and serve warm, or serve at room temperature.

8. Store uneaten cake in a cake keeper at room temperature, or wrap loosely in
plastic and store at room temperature for up to 2 days.

This is fifty-seventh cake from Cake Keepers Cake cookbook, by Lauren Chattman, on my blog. This is the cookbook that I find out thanks to Joyce's food blog named Kitchen Flavours.

"Spent The Day In Bed"

Spent the day in bed
Very happy I did, yes
I spent the day in bed
As the workers stay enslaved
I spent the day in bed
I'm not my type, but
I love my bed
And I recommend that you

Stop watching the news!
Because the news contrives to frighten you
To make you feel small and alone
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own

I spent the day in bed
It's a consolation
When all my dreams
Are perfectly legal
In sheets for which I paid
I am now laid
And I recommend to all of my friends that they

Stop watching the news!
Because the news contrives to frighten you
To make you feel small and alone
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own

Oh time, do as I wish
Time, do as I wish
Oh time, do as I wish
Time, do as I wish
Oh time, do as I wish
Time, do as I wish
Oh time, do as I wish
Do as I wish

I spent the day in bed
You can please yourself
But, I spent the day in bed
Pillows like pillars
Life ends in death
So, there's nothing wrong with
Being good to yourself
Be good to yourself for once!

And no bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No emasculation, no castration
No highway, freeway, motorway
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train
No bus, no boss, no rain, no train

Oh, I'm rising from within

I see it every morning

Tell you where the rhythm ends

"Is it cold tonight my love?"

I whisper through the screen

And there is nothing I can say or do in between

Oh, it always changes, I don't understand

I keep moving through the edge of now

Here comes a feeling I can't stop

emotionless and bored

Oh, you said

You played my brother like fire

You walked him through the rain

There was nothing but cold ?

But the feeling that I get

The warmth of your embrace

There is nothing I can do if I am going away

It was all so innocent

You could feel my loving arms

Then I saw you in the morning light

You were standing in my door

emotionless and bored

oh oh yeah

All my waiting was in vain

I walked alone in pain

Through the early morning rain

Feel the…
