Notes
Kim’s baking tips: When making upside-down cakes, line pans with baking paper to prevent topping from sticking.
Beating the butter and sugar for the specified time will help create light-textured cakes.
Have ingredients measured and ready before starting to bake.
To help cakes rise and prevent curdling, bring butter and eggs to room temperature before using.
